According to Guido van Rossum in http://linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2000-09-07-011-21-OS-CY-SW you are not able to use GPL'ed Zope products with Python 1.6 (or 2.0) until the dispute is settled. | GVR: It should be clear by now that the future of the Python license | is not in my hands (nor in BeOpen's hands) but in the hands of CNRI | and Richard Stallman. If they can't agree on changes to the 1.6 | license or a different interpretation of GPL compatibility by the FSF, | the final release of Python 2.0 (planned for early October) will be | incompatible with the GPL.
