[Python-Dev] Copyright and license texts for distributing Decimal (original) (raw)

I'll reformulate my question.

I've got a proyect, SiGeFi, which needs the decimal module, so for being used with Py2.3 it's a must for the project to let the user to install the decimal module "easily". Also, Alex Martelli asked me to create a "decimal module" installer, for reasons related to a recipe for his new book.

So I get into distutils and prepared tarball, .rpm and .exe packages for install the decimal module in your system if you have Py2.3. What I didn't solve is the license and copyright to put in the package.

Regarding copyright, my first draft says:

Copyright (c) 2004 Python Software Foundation. 
All rights reserved. 

Regarding license, didn't put nothing yet, should I write something like the following and include the file?

See the file "LICENSE" for information on the history of this 
software, terms & conditions for usage, and a DISCLAIMER OF ALL 
WARRANTIES. 

What license should I include in the packages? And the copyright text?

Thank you!

People: I'm creating a decimal installer (for Py2.3 users), making tarball, .rpm and .exe versions available.

What I don't know is what to put about license and copyright.

Regarding copyright, my first draft says: Copyright (c) 2004 Python Software Foundation. All rights reserved.

Regarding license, didn't put nothing yet, should I write something like the following and include the file? See the file "LICENSE" for information on the history of this software, terms & conditions for usage, and a DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES.

Remember that the "decimal installer" will be available for download not in a Python location.

Thanks!
