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. |
