It does, but it looks like it does not' limit itself to a specific document
subtree: looks like the search is not confined to the, say, cookbook &
tutorial only.

So we can write that the docs are also under the Dual Biopython / BSD
license, it's good enough, for most practical purposes (reuse &
accreditation).  The copyright without additions  implies no reuse /
redistribution.  But you can add instead "Copyright 1999-2024, The
Biopython Contributors, may be reused under the Biopython License (linked)."
