Since all stable releases of Python up to now have been released under an other license, much shorter and BSD-type like, and since this is currently widely known as *the* Python license, would it be possible to determine the above license as CNRI license or CNRI Python license ? To a separate note: Has the old traditional Python license ever formally approved by OSI ? If so, it would be nice to add it to the list of approved licenses as well. If not yet, could you give a look at it ? Gregor PGP signature
Re: List of Licenses -- as of 8-14-00
How about the new CNRI license for Python 1.6b1 (http://hdl.handle.net/1895.22/1011) ? In your introductory mail from Aug 8, you said that it was approved by OSI at the last board meeting, still it wasn't in this list. `Python license' (http://www.python.org/doc/Copyright.html) points to the old Python 1.5.2 license. Just to make sure: is it true that this license was formally approved by OSI as well ? A quick comment: I appreciate the idea of that list, but instead of listing URLs on foreign machines, it would be better to prepare an archive of the approved licenses on opensource.org, to make sure that nobody can change an approved license silently.
