Can you give a few examples? I could not find a file LICENSE.txt (you 
probably meant LICENSE), and no .txt or .doc file I checked was relevant 
to licensing.

My concern is that people who produce binary distributions will have to 
include this text file in their distribution as well. People who embed 
Python (in a way that includes _random.c) will have to include the text 
file in their applications.

Do we really want this?
