I try to give an answer.

We had this discussion on the python-ldap-dev mailing list (see list 
archive). While it seemed that there was general consensus that we might 
prefer the unprecise term "Python Style License" there was no real action taken.

Mainly the intention behind saying "Python Style License" is that you can do 
everything with python-ldap what you're allowed to do with e.g. Python 2.2.x.

Not sure if that satisfies your lawyer though.

Ciao, Michael.
