If they're going to submit patches then they shouldn't have any problem with the GPL. > The more users an open source project has, the better. That is simply not a valid premise, as others have explained. The priorities of any particular project might give weight to the number of users or might emphasize something else altogether. And some projects are just plain bad (think of malware or spamming tools), so it's better for the world in general if they fail and have no users regardless of the developers' wishes. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
