I don't know the answer to this, but Bob Weiner, BeOpen's CTO, claims
that according to BeOpen's lawyer this is okay.  I'll ask him about
it.

I'll post his answer (when I get it) on the license-py20 list.  I
encourage to subscribe and repost this question there for the
archives!

(There were some early glitches with the list address, but they have
been fixed.)
