Sure I can relicense to GPL v3. All I care about is the scripts staying open and free to use. :)

You can include as a part of IPA if you would like. I was planning to re-write them all into perl,
as my initial efforts to write them in bash for maximum portability didn't work out, and the
netgroup and hosts import scripts ended up written in perl.

I cannot help re-writing to python, I don't know the language.
