The FSF says 1.6.1's is *not* a GPL-compatible license, but is a necessary
step on the road to releasing a Python with a license that is GPL-compatible.
I don't understand what that means either.  You can read the license text and
guess for yourself:

    http://www.handle.net/python_licenses/python1.6.1-2-23-01.html

Clause 7 is where the Deep Magic lives; we're waiting for a clarification
about what this actually means.
