[Zope-Coders] copyright question

[Martijn Faassen]

Hi there,

I'm in the process of donating ParsedXML's domapi unit tests to 
pyxml so that they can be used for unit testing of other DOMs as well.
This will improve general Python DOM support and compatibility, which
in turn is good for ParsedXML, as are built on top of DOM will also be
tested against the same tests ParsedXML's DOM is tested against.

When looking at the code I suddenly noticed the ZPL license tacked onto
all files, and I sort of wondered on how to proceed. Of course this in
part depends on what PyXML wants, though I expect they'll be okay with the
ZPL. And since the ZPL allows this, it's not a problem from the Zope side
either. But some of these files have license version 1.0, and I believe
the ZPL is now up to 1.1. Can I update the licenses to 1.1? Is there
any official procedure for this? Do I just paste in the new license and
check in, or what?

Does this mean PyXML or even Python itself if it includes the former should 
have this in their README somewhere?

  This product includes software developed by Digital Creations
  for use in the Z Object Publishing Environment (http://www.zope.org/)

Anyway, it is going to be all in the family, but I'd still like to get some
feedback on this.

Regards,

Martijn
