[jira] Commented: (LEGAL-13) James jSPF have asked about the
Python license

Stefano Bagnara commented on LEGAL-13:
--------------------------------------
The python licensed resources are yaml text files and other descriptors used in the test suite.
spf-group publish a test suite and the core test definition file is a yaml file: we include it in our test folder because we written junit tests to read that resource.
http://www.openspf.org/svn/project/test-suite/rfc4408-tests.yml
http://www.openspf.org/svn/project/test-suite/pyspf-tests.yml
In past we even had to slightly alter that resource file to accomplish some lack in our yaml parser, but now we simply include the resource as is.
We have 3-4 of this files. We managed to have the most importat one to be clearly licensed under a liberal license some month ago, and they added this file to their test suite (previously there was no license definition for that ant we had to use the one included in the python spf implementation distributed under the python license): http://www.openspf.org/svn/project/test-suite/rfc4408-tests.LICENSE
Here is our current NOTICE snippet for that dependencies (different from what we had when we made this question to legal-discuss):

-------------------------------
While I don't see anything obviously objectionable with the Python license, I would appreciate some clarification: is jSPF contemplating shipping Python itself, some Python source, or some non-Python code that happens to be licensed under the Python license?
Depending (but not shipping) on an external python module that can be installed by easy_install or the like would be OK, shipping Python source (but not Python itself) is likely OK, shipping Python itself may require more investigation.

Henri Yandell closed LEGAL-13.
------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Looks like this is fine. It's not Python itself.
