Hi!

This text should be changed with:

  NOTE REGARDING THE LICENSE FOR TRANSLATIONS: Python's documentation is
  maintained using a global network of volunteers. By posting this
  project on Transifex, GitHub, and other public places, and inviting
  you to participate, we are proposing an agreement that you will
  provide your improvements to Python's documentation or the translation
  of Python's documentation for the PSF's use under the CC0 license
  (available at
  `https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode`_). In
  return, you may publicly claim credit for the portion of the
  translation you contributed and if your translation is accepted by the
  PSF, you may (but are not required to) submit a patch including an
  appropriate annotation in the Misc/ACKS or TRANSLATORS file. Although
  nothing in this Documentation Contribution Agreement obligates the PSF
  to incorporate your textual contribution, your participation in the
  Python community is welcomed and appreciated.

  You signify acceptance of this agreement by submitting your work to
  the PSF for inclusion in the documentation.


> BTW, the PEP says the "Documentation Contribution Agreement" should

> set it up?

The Documentation Contribution Agreement needs to be clearly
displayed to contributor, by any mean. (Own page, popup on transifex,
README, whatever as long as contributor see it).
