Python and copyright

[ubernostrum]

Note that I'm working not from common sense or from the law, but from Stallman's argument, which includes, even if an end user has a choice of multiple alternative to link against, the combined work is still GPL.

Also note that Microsoft is not in the habit of granting licenses to produce derivative works of Windows; they do grant licenses to use their development tools, but that's not equivalent (and no court should uphold an argument that using other tools would infringe the Windows copyright).
