I decided that since I haven't worked on Lamson for a while, and I'm kind of bored with it, that I'd rather have people use it without having to constantly bug me about the GPL. If you think about it from a marketing perspective, trying to "sell" GPL software to Python is like trying to sell Internet Explorer to a Linux long beard. Not only do they not want it, but they hate it and will look for anyway around it. I got another project I'm working on that is going to come out AGPL soon and I'll see how that goes.

You are right; much of the python community dislikes the GPL (myself included) but I don't know of widespread "how the hell do we get around it" disease. Most of us just see GPLed code, shrug, and move on. You seem to be making it out like people within the community are hell bent on screwing people who release software into the wild as open source, which bothers me a bit.
