Perhaps it's just bad wordplay from me. I assumed you knew that 'heading' was a misspelt 'heeding' but you playingly used literally "heading" in your reply. For those who didn't get understand that, though, I offered the correct "heeding" and then rhyming with "soccer ball", I presented myself as the sucker who offered the correct spelling when _it was not needed_. So I didn't think I was heeding a sucker call at any moment, I just wrote that as a pun.

(There's a short vowel (a "schwa"?) on the end there that I missed off because there's no unambigous ASCII symbol for it... But it's the same vowel a child uses - at least in England! - to say "r" when running through the alphabet, before they've learned the names (ay bee cee dee) for the letters.)

Hi All!
I know there has been a post about Python licencing but I have different
questions. I tried to Google for "Python Licence" and "Python Licencing"
but I could not find the answer.
Is there a place where I can ready about Python licencing? (A FAQ
maybe?) I really need to know the details of the licence, but not in the
lawyer's language. Just simple questions:
- How put a software under the Python licence?
While you can, sort of, and people have already pointed out the
appropriate web page to you, I ask that you *don't* use the PSF License.
The PSF License uses proper nouns that you will have to change[1]. When
you are done, it will no longer be the PSF License. It is my opinion
that this kind of variant proliferation is a nuisance.
Instead, you could use other well-accepted licenses that are broadly
similar to the PSF License.
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/afl-2.1.php
[1] For example: "1. This LICENSE AGREEMENT is between the Python
Software Foundation ("PSF"), and the Individual or Organization
("Licensee") accessing and otherwise using this software ("Python") in
source or binary form and its associated documentation."
You are neither the PSF nor is your software "Python".

The city in Pennsylvania is spelled "Edinboro", so there are a few people over here with a decent excuse. And it could be worse, we could call it "edun-burg". -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!
