There's a file (sandbox/test-psycopg2-datetime-systematic.py) that has the following lines:

# $Source: /sources/gnumed/gnumed/gnumed/client/testing/test-psycopg2-datetime-systematic.py,v $
__version__ = "$Revision: 1.1 $"
__author__  = "K.Hilbert <Karsten.Hilbert@gmx.net>"
__license__ = 'GPL (details at http://www.gnu.org)'
# =======================================================================

How would you like to handle this? Usually we would remove the file or get written permission from the author to change the license. 

Another place is line 571 in setup.py:
license="GPL with exceptions or ZPL",

Can I change that to:
license="LGPL with exceptions or ZPL",

Thanks,
-Chris

If you want to go through git you can fork the git repos at
https://github.com/psycopg/psycopg2/ (check out the tag 2_5_3), change
the 6 files above and remove the unwanted license, commit then send a
pull request. Otherwise just send me a diff via email of the 6 changed
files and I'll apply it.
