Looking at https://docs.python.org/3/license.html there's a list of "incorporated software" licenses, most of which say you need to distribute the license.

Right now, the LICENSE.txt file we distribute on Windows (made from the /LICENSE and PC/crtlicense.txt files in the repo, plus those in the source dependencies) does not include any of these licenses that come from C source files.

Arguably, we should just include all of them in a central file somewhere in the repo, even though there'd be some duplication.

(I have no idea whether other distros correctly gather it all together.)
