Have you read the very short and very liberal Biopython license?  I
assume that what ever you pick would be compatible... although
probably much more restrictive:

http://www.biopython.org/DIST/LICENSE

On a related note, are the bits of Biopython that deal with BioSQL
considered part of the Biopython Project, the BioSQL project, or both?
 The python modules themselves don't actually contain any license
information but as they are all under Biopython in CVS, so I presume
the Biopython license is implied.  See:

http://cvs.biopython.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/biopython/BioSQL/?cvsroot=biopython
