,
and pick one of the licenses mentioned there under "Example Licenses".
5. You should INCLUDE YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS in the body text of your
posting or in the trailing .signature block. Please do *not* sign
your announcement with PGP; most people would not know your public
PGP key anyway and would get a warning message.
6. Avoid excessive cross-posting. Messages that are cross-posted to
several moderated news groups will usually be approved by the
moderator of the first group in the list.
7. To make it easier to include your announcement on www.python.org's
front page, please include 2-3 lines of HTML code at the very end
of your submission, using the following template:
PackageName 1.0 - short
description of not more than one sentence. (DD-Mon-YY)
You may only include *one* link, which should point to a web page
with more info about your package (cf 2. above). The date should
be in parentheses, formatted as shown, e.g. 29-Jul-98.
8. Format your posting so that all lines are at most 78 characters
wide. (Exception: Internet resource addresses (cf. 7. above) should
not be line-wrapped, if possible.)
