It appears that ActivePython is breaking InfoSeeks copyright, by not including this file in their distribution... > If that's what the licenses want, there's no way to drive around > this I guess. There are certainly various options: a) we could refuse to incorporate the code in question, or postpone that until an alternative implementation comes along that does not have such requirements, or b) we could try to contact the authors of the code in question, to find out whether they would accept other means of acknowledgement (e.g. mentioning their names in the ACKS file, and putting some text into the copied source - as Raymond already did) It is certainly the case that we haven't been very careful with such things in the past (in particular in binary distributions), but that is IMO no excuse to be more careful now.
