[Python-Dev] Re: Missing license for file Modules/ossaudiodev.c

[mihaela olteanu via Python-Dev]

 Is it possible to contact the contributors and have their explicit agreement 
or is the LICENSE file at the top level of the repo already covering this 
scenario?

Thank you,Mihaela

The text has "All rights reserved" in all three lines which is _not_ a 
copyright notice but a license grant.
It's those license grants, including PSF's, that are untrue.

Compare with e.g. Tools/msi/bundle/bootstrap/pch.h and Modules/_hashopenssl.c 
in which a copyright notice correctly comes bare and is 
followed by a license grant compatible with PSFLA.

The LICENSE file at the top is all you need. There is no need to contact
inidividual contributors. That's the whole point of how Python licensing is
set up.
