[pygame] License question regarding Windows platform



Hi!

I'm developing a small game with the help of python+pygame. I intend
to make the game available on, at least, Windows + Ubuntu platforms.

On the Ubuntu platform, I will go for a source-distribution, probably
building a source .deb package (which requires package-pygame), or
using Launchpads Personal Package Archive system (aka PPAs). I see no
license problem in this situation, where I will include the game's
source which is MIT licensed.

My question is about distributing the game to Windows users.

* I use pygame for text rendering (SDL_ttf), keyboard input and music (.ogg)

* I use py2exe to create a standalone Game.exe for the convenience of
Windows users (not having to install Python+PyGame)

* I have no intention to go commercial, it is a spare-time game project.

Is this OK:

1) make a downloadable .zip/.exe with no source code, neither pygame
nor game source
2) include a "license.txt" explaining:
  a - the PyGame license and where to download source code
  b - where to download my game's source code (MIT-licensed, hosted at
Launchpad)
