Or not.  CNRI concedes that Stallman says "Python 1.6.1 is not
technically GPL-compatible, but unlike Python 1.6, the Python 1.6.1
license allows the creation of GPL-compatible derivative works."  So
things are, as usual, not straightforward.

Except for Guido's announcement, and his remarks on the prospects for
similar changes to the licenses for 2.x.  See the c.l.py.a archives.
