Don't know if we are in such a position, but it's worth putting
on the list of candidates.
Perhaps you should simply put up a patch to SF which includes
the module -- this will give it some more exposure and assure

Sure, but there may be others who would like to use it, right ;-)
As long as there's no license on a file, you bascially cannot
legally copy it without first getting the authors permission.

This only gives the right to use the module in case it becomes
part of the standard lib :-(
I usually put the old Python license into the files (with changed
names of course).
