Good Grief!
First thing to do if you receive software and worry about its
license is to find the license document. Then, if you need to
be fairly certain that you can do what you think you can do is
ask a lawyer. AdaCore has done so in the past, even informally
here on c.l.ada.
If you consider Python (no machine code, very little compile time
checking) as a replacement for Ada, I wonder whether this is really
about licensing. FUD at its best.
I hereby declare that Microsoft has several patents pending on the
execution of compiled python code within the .NET framework.
As the .NET framework will sooner of later start emulating x86
machine code on virtual hardware, jointly developed with VMware,
you can't trust the Python language any longer.
