While we can't say much yet, I can assure you that BeOpen is strongly
committed to GPL compatibility for the new Python license.  From that you
can probably draw inferences that are at least fundamentally correct <wink>.

Note that the current JPython license is not GPL compatible.  We'd sure like
to see that change.  But *retaining* CPython's GPL compatibility is the
first goal, and not one BeOpen is likely to compromise on.
