[issue37326] Python distributions do not contain libffi license

[Gregory Szorc]

Gregory Szorc  added the comment:

FWIW LICENSE.txt on Windows contains licenses for additional projects starting 
on line 258 (at least in CPython 3.7.3), which contains the section header 
"Additional Conditions for this Windows binary build".

But, the Doc/pythonXXX.chm does indeed contain libffi's license text. So we're 
all good here. I'm not sure why LICENSE.txt on Windows is incomplete. *shrugs*

[issue37326] Python distributions do not contain libffi license

[Ammar Askar]

Ammar Askar  added the comment:

LICENSE.txt only contains Python's licensing information. You can find all the 
external licenses in 
https://docs.python.org/3/license.html?highlight=libffi#libffi

On Windows, this is also distributed as part of Doc/pythonXXX.chm

If you don't think this is sufficient, feel free to re-open.

[issue37326] Python distributions do not contain libffi license

[Gregory Szorc]

New submission from Gregory Szorc :

The Modules/_ctypes/libffi_msvc/ffi.h and 
Modules/_ctypes/libffi_osx/include/ffi.h files in the CPython repository 
contain copies of libffi.

On at least the official Windows distributions, the LICENSE.txt does not 
contain libffi's license text from these files. This is seemingly in violation 
of libffi's license agreement, which clearly says "The above copyright notice 
and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial 
portions of the Software."
