This is undoubtedly the right answer for someone wanting to *use* code
*from* CPython.
When one signs up to contribute code to the PSF, one is asked to write
on contributed software that it has been "Licensed to the PSF under a
Contributor Agreement" (see
https://www.python.org/psf/contrib/contrib-form/). The XXX comment may
signal an intention to return and insert such words.
You cannot find many instances of those words in CPython (and Jython is
worse). Many of the files pre-date the fomula, most contributions are a
change to existing code, and adding it later to someone else's work
doesn't feel right. (The situation is clear for pristene code.) I have
wondered if it's an issue.

Hello,
Could you please let me know what is the license for the file
Modules/ossaudiodev.c ?
Inside the description there is a statement :"XXX need a license
statement" which creates some confusion.
Can we simply disregard that statement as for the other .c files
which do not have such statements?
Please note that we need this information for our OSS clearance
report.
Thank you,
Mihaela
