Maybe this message is meant for some specific recipients who will
already know what this is about. If not, please could you explain in
more detail what you mean? Precisely which work has potential legal
concerns?

The python.el in CVS Emacs is the one you submitted to
gnu-emacs-sources here:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnu-emacs-sources/2004-01/msg00032.html

Here you ask why it's not installed yet:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-pretest-bug/2004-04/msg00003.html

Here you supply some updates, installed 2004-05-06
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-pretest-bug/2004-05/msg00055.html

The only other sizable change from you for python.el seems to be
from 2006-08-20. I can't find any mail about this. Is this one the
problem?

There are two long threads about python.el from August 2006 that start
here and here:
