Aye, but the bootstrapping tests are just simple python 3 files that 
print "success" or "failure" to stdout, and would be licensed under 
whatever license the PSF chooses (presumably the PSF license).

Any test framework can run the tests without SubUnit. (The test 
framework and tests are completely decoupled.) I'm using SubUnit to link 
them into the CPython test suite.
