According to Guido van Rossum in

you are not able to use GPL'ed Zope products with Python 1.6 (or 2.0) until the dispute is settled.
No copyright-based licence whatsoever, including but not limited to the GPL, ZPL, and the licence on Microsoft Word, can ever prevent you from *using* any software you like, in any combination. They can only constrain *distribution* of that software and derived works. This is a serious problem for software authors, but not for people running Zope-based sites. Cheers, Evan @ digicool & 4-am
