Recently, Kolla project has requirement to modify[1] the python's ConfigParser.py code[0]. Python is using PSF license[3], which is GPL compatible. But OpenStack is using Apache License. Here is the diff view[2]. I want to make sure: is it OK to re-license ConfigParser.py? If not, what the solution?

Added all and tc tags, as it might affect everyone really.

not simple override the _read() method. I also copied some code from ConfigParser.py(more than 80%, i think). is that OK? is there any difference between override method and copy codes?
