That doesn't matter either. The required copyright statements are included in the Python interpreter. There is no reason to fear distributing Python as a part of either open source or proprietary works, and Guido framed the original license to allow precisely such uses. Later versions have retained the same spirit. The official license doesn't take a lot of understanding or legalese.
