A question about bundling smart with our distribution

Me too. :-)

But all the legalese should be in the LICENSE file (GPL).

I'm fine with it myself, as I've used Smart on both Darwin
and FreeBSD. Neither of which has GPL system libraries...
Smart also runs on Mac OS X and Windows, which doesn't even
have open source system libraries. Smart is still under GPL.

And Python doesn't really "link" in the same way as C/C++ ?

So as long as you contribute any changes you make to Smart...
