This thread is filled with reverse psychology! First the idea is
proposed to use the GPL because it's in the best interest of the
babys, which is doubtfull. Then it amounts to using lawyers to protect
the interests the authors of the sourcode, which would certainly
damage the interests of the babys. Now it reaches a state where using
a "safe and reliable" language is proposed instead of using python,
which is comparabale to throwing away the babys and keeping only the
bathing water.

Please stop trying not to start a flame war.
