Hi,
We want to include IronPython in one of our products, including the pure Python part of the python standard library. It seems that the IronPython installer packagers simply copied the pure python part of the standard library (the directory tree of .py files which is installed by cPython and IronPython installers in the lib/ subdirectory) from cPython. Now, this directory comes with a LICENSE.txt which contains a conglomerate of several licenses, and for us (and our Lawyers), it is not entirely clear which part of the license applies to the pure Python part of the standard library, and which applies to other files (like the Berkeley Database license). Our current understanding is that all the .py files which do not contain any explicit mentioning of a license are covered by the Python licenses (the first three licenses of the LICENSE.txt), and that e. G. the Berkeley Database License only applies to the bsddb module which is implemented in C, and thus is currently neither included with nor usable from IronPython. Is there anyone who can confirm this interpretation? Maybe the LICENSE.txt should clarify somehow which of the licenses applies to which part of the software.
