I'm using Mercurial as a library in my WSGI framework, released under a 
MIT like license.

I'm using only the very low level API and some functions from the util 
module:

I was really sure Mercurial was released under BSD like license, so I 
did not checked.

This is a big problem for me, what should I do?
I think that GPL is a good license for a "program", but it is a "bad" 
license for a library.

The flatpages sub-package is used "standalone": no other parts of wsgix 
depends on it.
It seems that the only solution is to move it out of WSGI; this is very 
unfortunate.
