Hi, The binary installer of IronPython 2.6 contains the lib subdirectory, which seems to be a rather 1:1 copy of the cPython standard library.
This standard library contains a LICENSE.txt file that, besides others, contains the Berkeley Database License: --- snip --- This copy of Python includes a copy of Berkeley DB, which is licensed under the following terms: [...] * 3. Redistributions in any form must be accompanied by information on * how to obtain complete source code for the DB software and any * accompanying software that uses the DB software. The source code * must either be included in the distribution or be available for no * more than the cost of distribution plus a nominal fee, and must be * freely redistributable under reasonable conditions. [...] --- snap --- This seems to be a GPL-like viral license, which would be somewhat harassing for our current project. However, it seems that the bsddb module is not included in IronPython (because it is not compatible with IronPython at the moment). Is there someone who can confirm that the Berkeley DB and the code covered by that license is currently not part of IronPython?
