GPLv3 Dependencies with python3 Package

Hi all!

We're looking to deploy Alpine with python3 installed, but have hit the hitch of gdbm's GPLv3 license https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/v3.16/main/aarch64/gdbm

As I understand it, python can be made GPLv3-free by splitting the base library and creating a separate python3-gdbm package. Ubuntu, for example: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python-gdbm

It should also slightly trim down the alpine-python images.

Would there be any interest from others to make this split in the python base library? How could we mitigate the downstream affects of pulling this into a separate package? If we're investing in this, would we want to further strip down python and take out more modules?

Thanks!

Matt
