I would like to add an section to the Library Reference to fulfill license requirements for code included in Python.

For example, the license for underlying the Mersenne Twister code is already embedded in the source but it requests to be included in the docs as well. Any thoughts or objections?

+1. Even in cases where it's not legally required, I think it's plain good manners to acknowledge external work Python incorporates, from bsddb to zlib.
