This code, or part of it, could be used to setup a buildbot and in this case there would not be any conflict between the GPL v3 license and the Python license, I think. I don't see how it can be combined with Python 3.

For the patches on the tracker I just went by your contributor agreement. I didn't check the lineage of the patches. Can I assume that either you are re-licensing GPL-stuff written by yourself to the PSF (which is a perfectly valid use case of the agreement) or rewriting from scratch?

Yes, I am re-licensing GPL code to the PSF for all the patches written by me in the issues listed on http://bugs.python.org/issue26865#msg264310. I have only rewritten the patches from scratch in the following issues:

issue #26849: android does not support versioning in SONAME (using a switch case on ac_sys_system) issue #26854: missing header on android for the ossaudiodev module (actually it's difficult to rewrite such an obvious patch) issue #26855: add platform.android_ver() for android (using configparser; Chi Hsuan Yen is proposing a more complete approach)

Fixes for those three issues can also be found in other projects porting python3 to android, the ones that I know of are:

I also browsed rapidly issue 23496 and could not find any overlap with my patches.
