A note about Python licensing ============================= Versions of Python up to and including 1.5.2 had a very simple and liberal license; versions from 1.6 onwards have much more complex, and more restrictive licenses. In particular, it is arguable as to whether the new licensing terms are "GPL compatible" -- that is, whether it is permissible to link Python with code licensed under the GNU Public License. To avoid any doubt, we explicitly permit omniORBpy to be linked with any version of Python.
