Hm. I obviously haven't been paying enough attention lately... I don't
know what this about - but it seems a tad disturbing... If the changes
in the licence *might* restrict the use of Python, I would be *very*
worried... So, I guess I qualify (being interested in a clarification);
feel free to add me to the list. (I am a Ph. D. student in computer
science, if you want to include that in the list...)
