Please send in the form -- the license was a totally separate issue
that I shouldn't have brought up in the same mail (or at all, in this
stage anyway -- we'll work this out with the Python consortium members
first).

Unfortunately, that's the price we have to pay.  What we get is legal
protection from CNRI.  In general CNRI has contributed a lot to
Python; probably more than you realize.

In any case, signing the form and including the email paragraphs is
completely voluntary -- if you don't want to do it, just let me know.
