That occurs to me too.
Do note that "using a library" in the Python world can go
very far,
perhaps as far as monkeypatching the library in order to fix some
undesired behaviour. The license (or its attached FAQ) has to be clear
that such uses don't entail propagation of copyleft to the application
as a whole.
That's useful to know.
