I have a couple of doubts about this though. The first one is about licensing.

My second doubt is about morality. Although this might be useful to those people who are forced to use older python versions, on the other hand it might represent an incentive for not upgrading (and there will be python 3.X features as well). Or maybe it won't, I don't know, point is I feel kind of guilty. =) I'd like to hear your opinions, especially about the second point.
While I would personally prefer that everyone else upgrade, I never expected that and I consider it a feature that one does not have to. The only thing that has really bothered me is people spreading FUD about Python 3, and that has mostly ended. Just be accurate in promoting your package. It will backport some newer stdlib features, but it will not remove old cruft, fix bugs, add other new features, or include doc improvements.
