You can license your own work to anyone you like, under any terms you choose. The source code to a work is necessary for users to exercise a free software license, but that doesn't mean that distributing source code necessarily grants a free software license. You're right that there is a great amount of Python code available under free software licenses. No-one can force you to join us, but you're welcome to. -- \ "My girlfriend has a queen sized bed; I have a court jester | `\ sized bed.
