Since the works are free software (IIUC, non-free works are not
allowed
to be uploaded to PyPI), then the PSF *has* rights to distribute the
files.
The new “usage agreement” wording is asserting much more than that,
though.
There's a distinction between the permission granted to distribute the
files and meta-data that make up the software cataloged on PyPI and
the license under which that same source code can be used in a project.
The way I read the agreement, I'm giving the PSF permission to
distribute my meta-data and code, not to use the code itself. Is that
right, Van?
