Here's the Python Software Foundation's advice on this:
http://www.python.org/moin/PythonSoftwareFoundationLicenseFaq
In general, the PSF doesn't encourage using the PSF Python license for
other projects, for reasons explained there. If you want to anyway,
that's fine, but you at least need to edit it to fit the specifics of
your project (as also explained there).
