It looks like today they changed their licence to GPL v3 !
I don't know if that exclamation mark is of joy or woe. I vote for woe.
I don't know if woe is necessarily fight: given that we are talking about a component which is served separately from any of our Python code, without even the (debatable) trigger of a Python import to cause our code to be a "derived work", the "mere aggregation" clause is likell to apply to distributing ExtJS with a ZPLed Python library / application. Having an unambiguous FOSS license on the code has to be good news for those who would like to build and distribute such components. ZMySQLDA, for instance, is a ZPLed component which depends on the non-ZPL MySQL client libraries, which doesn't seem to cause problems. We *still* can't put the ExtJS code itself into svn.zope.org, but perhaps we can now allow checking in ZPLed code which uses it.
