+Excerpt from http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/:
 
+ This page contains my contributions to the Zope software fund. They are
+ either completely free, or covered by an open source or open content
+ license. Note however, that I consider whether I will expressly forbid
+ the use of my software by institutions of the European Union (Councel
+ of Ministers, Commission, Parliament, ...) and member governments
+ supporting software patents. This is in protest against a recent decision
+ of the Councel to make software patentable. This decision ignores a
+ Parliament vote that pleaded to keep logic (algorithms, business rules)
+ un-patentable. Of course, only new versions will be affected by such a
+ change -- should it come.
+
+The upstream tarball does not contain any licensing or copyright
+information.
