What do you mean by "banned"? Does this mean that Google does not use
software of this license?

I have found no other good Python packages to receive payments.

My package is prominent that it has especially great support for
recurring payments, not a feature of other packages.

See http://freesoft.portonvictor.org/django-debits.xml
about more features of my package.

My package is a professional tool unlike other's hacks.

This quick hack does work for the purpose it was made. This class is
not feature-rich, but other features are not needed by other parts of
my software. So it's OK.

I with my partner are founding a new company. The company site is not
yet online. It should be online soon. There we will have a well
designed page for this my product.
