This comes from the license text.

| 2. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License Agreement, PSF
| hereby grants Licensee a nonexclusive, royalty-free, world-wide
| license to reproduce, analyze, test, perform and/or display publicly,
| prepare derivative works, distribute, and otherwise use Python 2.3

| License Agreement and PSF's notice of copyright, i.e., "Copyright (c)
| 2001, 2002, 2003 Python Software Foundation; All Rights Reserved" are

| Licensee.

So what should I understand by: provided, however, that PSF's License
Agreement ... are retained in Python 2.3 alone or in any derivative 
version prepared by Licensee.
