Hm.  The license = "Python" bit definitely seems wrong, and it hasn't changed
in 4.0, so I'll poke upstream about it.

As for the MIT vs BSD part, I think you've opened a bit of a can of worms.  The
reason this package is labeled BSD is that it split off from PostgreSQL a long
time ago, and it has the same license wording as PostgreSQL, which the upstream
group for that project has always considered to be BSD-without-advertising. 
Not only because it came from Berkeley originally, but also because it once had
an advertising clause, which UCB later allowed them (us) to remove.  I am quite
confused by the wiki's attribution of this wording to MIT, and frankly I'm not
sure I believe it's authoritative.  Particularly not when all their examples
cite UCB not MIT.

In short: if you want me to change this, you're going to have to persuade a
large number of people that what they always thought was BSD wording is MIT
wording.  And a wiki page with these examples on it *ain't* going to do the
trick.
