PyPy and the GPL
Created originally on Bitbucket by Tim Rojek
Our team has a python application we distribute and are considering switching it to PyPy. So far so good, everything works and its faster! Legal is concerned about the use of GPL code in PyPy from the gdbm module. Julia had the same problem and introduced a USE_GPL_LIBS build option, perhaps something similar with PyPy can be done?
Are gdbm.py and _gdbm_build.py the only GPL files in the prebuilt binary packages from pypy.org? If that’s all, I expect we could just delete those files. Build options are always good though!
