 > Basically the same dependencies are included on all platforms, except
 for Mac, which I think excludes twisted and zope because they are
 installed on the system by default. The difference is that on Windows and
 Mac, we build or install those dependencies manually because we can't
 easily apt-get them. In the case of Windows, the copying of the libraries
 is done implicitly by py2exe.

 OK, I'll start looking at the licenses of the dependencies of pyobfsproxy.
 BTW, do I really need to look at the license of zope? It's Twisted's
 dependency, not pyobfsproxy's.
