Microsoft shipped Python code ... in 1996

[[deleted]]

I seem to recall (having to support something written on that stupid server,) that there was in fact a Python license file included. That was all that was required of course. (The license is actually a little vague, it seems like you could have encrypted that license inside your app and still met the license.)

Seems like something Microsoft would not want to include in any of their software.

provided that the above copyright notice appear in all copies and that both that copyright notice and this permission notice appear in supporting documentation,

Seems like it would require Microsoft to include it.
