Python Software Foundation License
|
|
Python 2.1.1 license
|
|
|
|
This is the official license for the Python 2.1.1 release:
|
|
A. HISTORY OF THE SOFTWARE
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Python was created in the early 1990s by Guido van Rossum at Stichting
|
|
Mathematisch Centrum (CWI) in the Netherlands as a successor of a language
|
|
called ABC. Guido is Python's principal author, although it includes many
|
|
contributions from others. The last version released from CWI was Python 1.2.
|
|
In 1995, Guido continued his work on Python at the Corporation for National
|
|
Research Initiatives (CNRI) in Reston, Virginia where he released several
|
|
versions of the software. Python 1.6 was the last of the versions released by
|
|
CNRI. In 2000, Guido and the Python core development team moved to BeOpen.com
|
|
to form the BeOpen PythonLabs team. Python 2.0 was the first and only release
|
|
from BeOpen.com.
|
|
|
|
Following the release of Python 1.6, and after Guido van Rossum left CNRI to
|
|
work with commercial software developers, it became clear that the ability to
|
|
use Python with software available under the GNU Public License (GPL) was very
|
|
desirable. CNRI and the Free Software Foundation (FSF) interacted to develop
|
|
enabling wording changes to the Python license. Python 1.6.1 is essentially the
|
|
same as Python 1.6, with a few minor bug fixes, and with a different license
|
|
that enables later versions to be GPL-compatible. Python 2.1 is a derivative
|
|
work of Python 1.6.1, as well as of Python 2.0.
|
|
|
|
After Python 2.0 was released by BeOpen.com, Guido van Rossum and the other
|
|
PythonLabs developers joined Digital Creations. All intellectual property added
|
|
from this point on, starting with Python 2.1 and its alpha and beta releases,
|
|
is owned by the Python Software Foundation (PSF), a non-profit modeled after
|
|
the Apache Software Foundation. See http://www.python.org/psf/ for more
|
|
information about the PSF.
|
|
|
|
Thanks to the many outside volunteers who have worked under Guido's direction
|
|
to make these releases possible.
