Opinions are worthless, including your employer's:  tell your prospective
employer to have their lawyer look at both the MS license and Python's.
Python is not released under the GPL, and that much is a fact, but your
understanding of your prospective employer's understanding of the true
legalities is probably fatally flawed at both stages <0.4 wink>.
