[bf1942] We REALLY need the BF2 Python API (Andreas - question for you here!!!)

[Panic]

Andreas

Would we be in violation of the copyright notice in "admin/default.py"
if we posted
a modified variant of the file on the fun-o-matic wiki...?

I assume we would, but then again, I assume us modding the file is
pretty much the
entire idea behind the py-interface. So should such a permission be
explicitly given
in the header of the file...?
