those of you familiar with Slashdot[1] know that they occasionally solicit
questions from readers to be presented to someone, then later post the
responses
they recently did this for the author of Python[2] - the whole interview is
here:

how is this even remotely relevant to XEmacs? check out the "Conflict with
the GPL?" question - here's an excerpt from GvR's response:
I don't personally care any more whether Python will ever be
GPL-compatible -- I'm just trying to do the FSF a favor because
they like to use Python. With all the grief they're giving me, I
wonder why I should be bothered any more.
anyway, I thought it was interesting in light of the history of XEmacs
