Fernando "Lalo" Martins <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: other
Other License: Modules are in different licenses:
pax: public domain, one file in Python 2.2 license
others: Zope license version 2

Package: OpenTAL
System name: opental
Type: non-GNU

Description:
This is a python-based engine for webpage templates (similar in spirit to php, 
asp and others).  It implements the same language (TAL) used in Zope Page 
Templates; in fact one of the modules included is a Zope interface to the 
engine.

Current code can be found at http://www.zope.org/Members/lalo/AltPT.  I\'m 
migrating this to Savannah because the code is spread trough several places, 
most of them sourceforge-based.  As part of this migration it will be renamed 
from AltTAL and AltPT to OpenTAL and OpenPT.

Other Software Required:
The code is written in Python and therefore requires it, version 2.1 or newer.  
No non-free software is required or, for that matter, supported.  Some modules 
(OpenPT, PlacelessTranslationService) require Zope.

Other Comments:
1: all modules have, or will have at the end of the migration, a copy of their 
license in a file LICENSE.txt, except for the module that is public domain.
2: all files have, or will have at the end of the migration, a small license 
statement in their first lines
3: the \"Open\" in the project name refers to the fact that it has 
extensibility and maintainability as design goals; it is \"open\" to extensions 
that are easily hooked in.  It has no relation at all to \"Open Source\", a 
term I do not like personally.  It is there because this project started, 
months ago, as a fork of Zope\'s TAL and ZPT packages; the analogy is to 
OpenBSD vs. BSD, not to Open Source.  No, I am not willing to change the name, 
but I can sign a contract in blood swearing I will not use the words \"Open 
Source\" in documentation or the website, except to explain that it has no 
relation to the project name.
