answer from webmaster@python.org:

Hello,

When I use the version of Python distributed by python.org and type "license()" I get the full license text and not the url.

It seems like this might be a change made by Red Hat? Either way, the proper place to discuss issues like this is on the Python bug tracker:

	http://bugs.python.org/

Feel free to report an issue there and the developers can look at it.

This email address is actually for reporting problems with the Python.org website!

All the best,

Michael Foord
