One of the attractions of Python has been that it was really open 
source. No restrictions
not hobbled like GPL.

IMHO, It would really be a minus relative to Python if Prothon started 
down the GPL path.
This whole .Net thing also seems to be something the Windows guys are 
attracted to but makes the other platforms
second class citizens. Mono is still relatively immature and its only 
Linux not OS X. Which is close but not the same.
