Another round of updates from Moshe. A reference to the term 

"batteries included" was added.  The question about open source 3rd
party modules was answered, as was the explanation of GPL/LGPL.

Additionally, some Open Source third-party Python modules will
also be distributed together with the source distribution. The
difference between those and external libraries is that the latter
are distributed in order to make the Python distribution self
contained, and the former are added so there will be new
functionality in out-of-the-box Python.
TBD -- does this mean some will be distributed but not enabled by
default? [ed]

Software covered by the GNU Public License
TBD -- please explain why GPL'd software is not included in Python
(and perhaps the difference between GPL and LGPL).
While many Python modules rely on software distributed under the
GNU General Public License and the GNU Lesser General Public
License, no such sources are proposed here to be added to the
Python interpreter. Currently, the Python interpreter is
distributed under a closed-source-friendly license, which means
that it is possible to include it in a closed source product.
Making redistributers worry about which parts they need to remove
to make closed-source redistribution legal might cost more then
the benefits.
