Hello,

I just downloaded the source for 2.5.3 (
http://initd.org/psycopg/tarballs/PSYCOPG-2-5/psycopg2-2.5.3.tar.gz) and
looked through the sources. The following files seem to be under a GPL
license:

examples/copy_from.py
examples/lobject.py
examples/copy_to.py
scripts/buildtypes.py
scripts/make_errorcodes.py
scripts/refcounter.py

And there's a copy of the GNU GPL:
doc/COPYING

We're very sensitive to GPL code here and would appreciate some
clarification about these files. Was this just an oversight? And is there a
plan to provide a source release without GPL code in the package?

Thanks,
-Chris
