Description
Considering this repository is nearly all documentation nowadays, we should probably integrate the updated license for Python documentation from the CPython repository:
--- LICENSE 2022-08-04 12:14:54.428637288 +0200
+++ ../cpython/LICENSE 2022-05-03 13:41:18.466707570 +0200

As this is a license change, this is something the PSF must do. How do we best proceed here?
