python libraries in guile: the license question

[Valentin Kamyshenko <val at kamysh dot materials dot kiev dot ua>]

Hello,

IMHO, Guile should contain modules, that simplify working with
mailboxes (in different formats) and parsing of internet
messages. Similar modules (and other useful things) exist in python,
and, as for me, it would be unnecessary and dull job to try to rewrite
them from the scratch, when they could be easily derived from the good
written python code (this is especially true for the parts of the
code, that are written in C, where the needed changes seems to be
really minimal). The question is, how does this correspond to the
license policy of guile.

I think, being separate modules, they could be distributed under
GPL (without the special extension, specific to guile), but, so far as
I understood, python sources are not GPL'ed: their license looks like:
