Do they? I was under the impression they had their own home-baked, GPL-licensed, lazy-loading import re-implementation. At least they used to, perhaps they switched to something else (probably still GPL-licensed, though).

Their Python 3 port wraps the stdlib code in their old API (they showed me the code at PyCon US). So the GPL bit is for API adapting.
