As Brett noted, yes, the LICENSE file is complicated, but most people don't bother reading it themselves - they ask what FSF and OSI think of it, and get the answers "BSD style" and "GPL compatible" and are happy with that.

Presumably at least the BEOPEN.COM LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR PYTHON 2.0 can be removed from the LICENSE file because otherwise it appears that answer to "GPL compatible" must be no?
