Update of the License about python-memcached HOT 2 CLOSED

Thanks for bringing this up. I think it's clear that sleepycat has no bearing to the memcache code, so it is reasonable to not reference that. Picking up the latest PSF license seems like an easy step to do and I believe achieves the original goal of selecting the PSF license, so is easy to immediately select it.

Now, as to question 2: I agree with you that the PSF license is really oriented towards python itself, and may not be the best choice for python-memcached. I don't recall if I selected the license, or it was selected before I picked up maintainership. Either way, I'm not sure much more thought went into it than: "Python uses this license so it should be a good choice for a python library".

If we agree that the PSF license isn't the best choice, the question that goes to what would be a better choice. One possibility would be the GPL, if it makes it easy with the PSF license being "GPL compatible". For my own code lately I've been using CC0 as just public domain. I'd be open to something else.

But, as you say, it's more complicated to change the license, I'm not even sure I can get in touch with all contributors to get their approval.

Short form: I'm going to commit changes to the license file to include just a recent PSF license text.
