Copyright on the Python and Python-console icons?

That's just assertion.  Cite the law, if you can (it's easy to find the
stuff about expiration, and about works produced by the government; if
anything else about it were as clear, the scholarly work on the topic I
pointed you at wouldn't have been written).

Quite the contrary, it makes me appear to be bluffing.  I pointed you to
three starting places if you'd like to collect actual legal opinion instead
of "is not, is too, is not, is too" Usenet silliness, all of which you
indeed conveniently ignored in your response, in favor of raw assertion.

If you want some highly informed legal opinion to exercise your beliefs
against, engage Larry Rosen (OSI's legal counsel; I already gave you a link
to one accessible place he hangs out, and, IME, he's been happy to argue
this issue at any depth you can bear).
