# A. HISTORY OF THE SOFTWARE
|
||
|
# ==========================
|
||
|
#
|
||
|
# Python was created in the early 1990s by Guido van Rossum at Stichting
|
||
|
# Mathematisch Centrum (CWI, see http://www.cwi.nl) in the Netherlands
|
||
|
# as a successor of a language called ABC. Guido remains Python's
|
||
|
# principal author, although it includes many contributions from others.
|
||
|
#
|
||
|
# In 1995, Guido continued his work on Python at the Corporation for
|
||
|
# National Research Initiatives (CNRI, see http://www.cnri.reston.va.us)
|
||
|
# in Reston, Virginia where he released several versions of the
|
||
|
# software.
|
||
|
#
|
||
|
# In May 2000, Guido and the Python core development team moved to
|
||
|
# BeOpen.com to form the BeOpen PythonLabs team. In October of the same
|
||
|
# year, the PythonLabs team moved to Digital Creations (now Zope
|
||
|
# Corporation, see http://www.zope.com). In 2001, the Python Software
|
||
|
# Foundation (PSF, see http://www.python.org/psf/) was formed, a
|
||
|
# non-profit organization created specifically to own Python-related
|
||
|
# Intellectual Property. Zope Corporation is a sponsoring member of
|
||
|
# the PSF.
|
||
|
#
|
||
|
# All Python releases are Open Source (see http://www.opensource.org for
|
||
|
# the Open Source Definition). Historically, most, but not all, Python
|
||
|
# releases have also been GPL-compatible; the table below summarizes
|
||
|
# the various releases.

# Footnotes:
|
||
|
#
|
||
|
# (1) GPL-compatible doesn't mean that we're distributing Python under
|
||
|
# the GPL. All Python licenses, unlike the GPL, let you distribute
|
||
|
# a modified version without making your changes open source. The
|
||
|
# GPL-compatible licenses make it possible to combine Python with
|
||
|
# other software that is released under the GPL; the others don't.
|
||
|
#
|
||
|
# (2) According to Richard Stallman, 1.6.1 is not GPL-compatible,
|
||
|
# because its license has a choice of law clause. According to
|
||
|
# CNRI, however, Stallman's lawyer has told CNRI's lawyer that 1.6.1
|
||
|
# is "not incompatible" with the GPL.
|
||
|
#
|
||
|
# Thanks to the many outside volunteers who have worked under Guido's
|
||
|
# direction to make these releases possible.
