Submission + - Canonical Begins to Open-Source Launchpad (ubuntu.com)

The first component of Launchpad to be open-sourced is Storm, described as an "object-relational mapper (ORM) for Python". A tutorial with many examples is available. The license for storm is the LGPL 2.1 (inspection of the several source files shows they contain the common "either version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version", implying that Storm is LGPLv3-compatible)."
