Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Bob Tanner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Package name: python-formencode Version : 0.2.2 Upstream Author : Ian Bicking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://formencode.sf.net * License : PSF Description : FormEncode is a validation and form generation package. The validation can be used separately from the form generation. The validation works on compound data structures, with all parts being nestable. It is separate from HTTP or any other input mechanism. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I guess it validates and generates HTML code, but it is not clear from the description. also, PSF doesn't seem to be a license, but more an acronym for "Python Software Foundation". after reading the Python License, i'm even not sure whether it is possible to license third-party software under it, as it seems to talk about the PSF all the time, and that doesn't apply for software which is not copyrighted by the PSF, am i correct here? ... jonas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

That's true, the PSF is not suitable for third party modules. The FAQ even says so: "The PSF license was developed specifically and only for Python and its standard libraries." (http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonSoftwareFoundationLicenseFaq). It does go on to say how to modify the PSF license, which is mostly 's/PSF/Your Organization/g'. This may be what has been done for formencode.
