- SPDX License List: PSF-2.0 identifies the PSF licence component alone (also used independently by other projects), while Python-2.0 identifies the overall Python licence as published by OSI, made up of several licences (PSF, BeOpen, CNRI and CWI). SPDX records Python-2.0 and 0BSD as OSI-approved and PSF-2.0 as not OSI-approved. The OSI lists the Python License 2.0 in its "Superseded" category.
