Since there are 3 versions of this table, it's unavoidable that one of them
gets out of sync :)

\* LICENSE
\* Doc/license.rst
\* the versions for each release on the website

So I wholeheartedly support truncating before 2.2 (which is the first
release where all micro versions are PSF owned and GPL compatible) and
just saying "2.2 onwards" (or whatever is the best way to say it).

cheers,
Georg
