Yes, but it's not like the PSF are going to initiate legal action
against anyone who implements an interpreter for similar bytecode,
which is what has happened for things like CPU instruction sets in the
past. CPython bytecode is best described as "implementation-specific",
thus avoiding any words with exclusive ownership connotations.
