 *Release date: XX-XXX-XXXX*
 
+License
+-------
+
+The Python Software Foundation changed the license under which Python
+is released, to remove Python version numbers.  There were no other
+changes to the license.  So, for example, wherever the license for
+Python 2.3 said "Python 2.3", the new license says "Python".  The
+intent is to make it possible to refer to the PSF license in a more
+durable way.  For example, some people say they're confused by that
+the Open Source Initiative's entry for the Python Software Foundation
+License::
+
+      http://www.opensource.org/licenses/PythonSoftFoundation.php
+
+says "Python 2.1.1" all over it, wondering whether it applies only
+to Python 2.1.1.
+
+The official name of the new license is the Python Software Foundation
+License Version 2.
