[issue12987] Demo/scripts/newslist.py has non-free licensing terms

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

If we are going to backport the removal from the distribution of Demo/scripts/newslist.py to 2.7, it might as well be done immediately, before 2.7.9 goes out.  Benjamin?

I am more concerned about separately licensed stdlib modules, such as turtle* (and others).  Do they all properly 'fall under the PSF license'?  Has this been systematically checked (and recorded)?  Is there a policy in place with respect to new modules?

* G.Lingl said in email he would sign he contributor agreement in August, but none is recorded yet.
