Sounds good to me!

The licence text should be added to https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Doc/license.rst?plain=1.

@isuruf I assume this would be ok with you?

I don't think this warrants an amendment of the top level license as it's not used in the redistributables on cpython. Just in Tools/pixi-packages would be good.

[AA-Turner]

Tools/pixi-packages is included in source distributions, which are official distributions of CPython. See e.g. https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.15.0/Python-3.15.0a3.tar.xz

As such I think it's better to put it in Doc/licence.rst, it is more discoverable for redistributors who may care about licencing.
