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 onĀ  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.

The form says specifically "adjacent to Contributor's valid copyright notice". *If* the contribution comes with a separate explicit copyright notice (most do not), then it should be followed by the contribution notice.

ossaudiodev.c has 3 copyright notices, the last being by PSF in 2002, long before he current Contributor Agreement, and apparently never challenged. Hence Guido's claim that the module is covered by the general PSF license.
