I'll ask Jean-Paul and AB Strakt if they are up to contributing the pyOpenSSL code to the Python stdlib based on a contributor agreement. This would enable us to relicense the code undert the PSF license even if the original code's license is not changed. Once that's a done deal, we can then consider moving in the above direction. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8998> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
