Okay, thanks, I didn't realise that.

That's good. The package maintainers will just need to update to use the
new module, then.

As far as I can tell, the Python standard library logging module is
covered by the Python license *and* the Vinay Sajip license - on
Python's licensing page [1], they have a long list of "Licenses and
Acknowledgements for Incorporated Software".
(Perhaps someone else from -legal can confirm this?)

It seems that xen still uses the original logging module:
