Please remove me from those attributions that include me. I'm "original author" of half the stdlib, after all, and I don't need to see my name repeated. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I don't think we need to retain the licensing though as it's the PSF one (?) otherwise this may conflict with the one that we currently use.
