[Python-Dev] Copyright and license texts for distributing Decimal

[Batista, Facundo]

I'll reformulate my question.

I've got a proyect, SiGeFi, which needs the decimal module, so for being
used with Py2.3 it's a must for the project to let the user to install the
decimal module "easily". Also, Alex Martelli asked me to create a "decimal
module" installer, for reasons related to a recipe for his new book.

So I get into distutils and prepared tarball, .rpm and .exe packages for
install the decimal module in your system if you have Py2.3. What I didn't
solve is the license and copyright to put in the package.

Regarding copyright, my first draft says: 

    Copyright (c) 2004 Python Software Foundation. 
    All rights reserved. 
    
Regarding license, didn't put nothing yet, should I write something like the
following and include the file? 

    See the file "LICENSE" for information on the history of this 
    software, terms & conditions for usage, and a DISCLAIMER OF ALL 
    WARRANTIES. 

What license should I include in the packages?  And the copyright text?

Thank you!

People: 
I'm creating a decimal installer (for Py2.3 users), making tarball, .rpm and
.exe versions available. 

What I don't know is what to put about license and copyright. 

Regarding copyright, my first draft says: 
    Copyright (c) 2004 Python Software Foundation. 
    All rights reserved. 
    
Regarding license, didn't put nothing yet, should I write something like the
following and include the file? 
    See the file "LICENSE" for information on the history of this 
    software, terms & conditions for usage, and a DISCLAIMER OF ALL 
    WARRANTIES. 

Remember that the "decimal installer" will be available for download not in
a Python location. 

Thanks!
