Doesn't this make Python a GNU package? No. See gnu.org/categories.html for what it means to be a GNU package. At least it is a GNU required package. If you define "GNU required package" as any package needed to run some GNU package, then Python would be one. But that is not a concept we use. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
