*Release date: XX-XXX-XXXX*
License
-------
The Python Software Foundation changed the license under which Python
is released, to remove Python version numbers. There were no other
changes to the license. So, for example, wherever the license for
Python 2.3 said "Python 2.3", the new license says "Python". The
intent is to make it possible to refer to the PSF license in a more
durable way. For example, some people say they're confused by that
the Open Source Initiative's entry for the Python Software Foundation
License::
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/PythonSoftFoundation.php
says "Python 2.1.1" all over it, wondering whether it applies only
to Python 2.1.1.
The official name of the new license is the Python Software Foundation
License Version 2.
