Thanks for bringing this up, and my apologies for taking a while to
respond. I wanted to get this right. As I mentioned to you at WWDC our
intention with ActivePython is definitely to allow usage of py2app,
py2exe, and other wrapping tools. The ActivePython license has been
updated to clarify this:
http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePython/license_agreement.plex
...
In addition to the above allowed uses, this license does allow for
the redistribution of parts of the Package together with other
software code in a wrapped format, including but not limited to a
format wrapped with executable generators such as "py2app" or
"py2exe". However, if you wish to redistribute the complete Package
either as a standalone distribution or in a wrapped format, you
must obtain written permission from ActiveState. ActiveState may
charge a fee for such license. To obtain permission for
redistribution or clarification regarding your particular intended
use of the Package, please contact us at: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
...
I'll have a new ActivePython package for OS X out next week with this
license update in addition to a few changes so that py2app and
ActivePython play more nicely together. Current a py2app build will
break looking for the version.plist file in ActivePython's framework
install dir.
I hope that the license clarification alleviates people's concerns.
