If I could read past the first paragraph do you think I would really hang onto this newsgroup asking stupid questions?! The personal harm caused readers of this announcement should entitle each reader to a free beer (or for those with bad hearts, a nitroglycerin pill) at the expense of the perpetrator - though I imagine the PSF team of lawyers retained for license enforcement may take up the case on his side - money talks. - As an aside, I should mention that I have countered the announced licensing change with a patent application for the use of 3, 4, or 5 spaces as an indent for purposes of establishing a code block. I have written a tidy little program that will count indent spaces in all Python programs and expect to negotiate royalty settlements on a per space basis ($.0001 per space proposed). Anyone who prefers to avoid a call from my legal team can simply send me their source code for royalty calculation, and provide a credit card or bank account number. Thanks.
