Of course, I had all 2.6 and 3.1 changesets in my existing clones :)  I 
committed my patch to all branches.

I don’t have clones of 2.6 and 3.1, so Benjamin, would you commit this?

Éric Araujo  added the comment:

The former license was also present in the reST documentation.  Attached patch 
removes it, and also cleans up two lines: it removes a comment that duplicates 
a docstring, and removes the docstring from profile that you added to pstats :)

I think we should apply this to earlier applicable versions too.  I would 
accept this change for Python 2.6.

Paul Hildebrandt  added the comment:

This is the patch. It was created with

hg diff >WDAS.patch

at the root of the hg repository.  

This patch is just a comment change and should apply to versions of Python 
currently being update.

[issue12417] Inappropriate copyright on profile files

[Paul Hildebrandt]

New submission from Paul Hildebrandt :

profile.py and pstats.py have an inappropriate copyright for some.  These files 
were contributed by a company that was acquired by Disney.  I have a patch that 
has passed Disney legal to resolve the problem.

The following is the cogent part of a conversation between Matthias Klose and 
myself.  He is including information about the issue:

 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2005-February/051450.html

"""
The current license for the Python profiler is not conforming to the
DFSG
(Debian free software guidelines).

http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/node829.html states

 "This permission is explicitly restricted to the copying and
 modification of the software to remain in Python, compiled Python,
 or other languages (such as C) wherein the modified or derived code
 is exclusively imported into a Python module."

The DFSG,
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-dfsg,
third paragraph state:

 "Derived Works
   The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must
   allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the license
   of the original software."

- Does somebody knows about the history of this license, why it is
 more restricted than the Python license?
- Is there a chance to change the license for these two modules
 (profile.py, pstats.py)?
