This is because the next version of pycryptopp will be "either GPLv2+, TGPPLv1+, SPL, or MIT licence at your option". This is because Twisted Python is under MIT. Once all three of these packages have a licence in common among them, then downstream users can opt to use all three packages under that licence, thus simplifying the documentation that they have to write about licensing.
