At CNRI's request, I'm changing the status of 1.6.1 from 

not-GPL-compatible to GPL-compatible, with a footnote explaining that
RMS disagrees.  I'm not going to discuss this further -- both sides
(CNRI and RMS) will argue their POV till they're blue in the face.

GPL-compatible licenses make it possible to combine Python with
other software that is released under the GPL; the others don't.
(2) According to Richard Stallman, 1.6.1 is not GPL-compatible,
because its license has a choice of law clause. According to
CNRI, however, Stallman's lawyer has told CNRI's lawyer that 1.6.1
is "not incompatible" with the GPL.
Thanks to the many outside volunteers who have worked under Guido's
direction to make these releases possible.
