Not just the license - there's a hesitation about including a large,
complex piece of code without someone who's completely across it and
willing to support it. I attempted a while ago to do a major refactoring
of the gadfly internals to use more modern python idioms. This attempt
failed due to the complexity of the code and the lack of strong unit
tests of the gadfly internals.
This, more than the license (which I believe Aaron was quite happy to
address), was the main reason this didn't happen.
I believe there is still merit to including an SQL database being in
the standard distribution of python - personally I could live with
sqlite being included.

+1 from me. In retrospect, it probably would have been more useful to add
sqlite than BerkeleyDB support to Python 2.3.

Being the primary PySQLite maintainer, that's good to hear :)
-0 from me for adding either Gadfly or PySQLite to the standard Python
distribution. I can't see any merit in this.
I also see the danger of PySQLite/Gadfly being used for purposes they're
not appropriate if they're included in the standard distribution.

Hi Everybuddy,
I am having a little problem I can not find a solution for.
I am trying to use the SQL-LIKE statement in gadfly. After googling
around I found out that it is not supported, and that on is supposed to
use a regular expression. All great, but there is nowhere a reference
to be found on how to do this. No examples, no nothing, just the
comment to use regular expressions.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
