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. + + Release Derived Year Owner GPL- + from compatible? (1) + + 0.9.0 thru 1.2 1991-1995 CWI yes + 1.3 thru 1.5.2 1.2 1995-1999 CNRI yes + 1.6 1.5.2 2000 CNRI no + 2.0 1.6 2000 BeOpen.com no + 1.6.1 1.6 2001 CNRI yes (2) + 2.1 2.0+1.6.1 2001 PSF no + 2.0.1 2.0+1.6.1 2001 PSF yes + 2.1.1 2.1+2.0.1 2001 PSF yes + 2.1.2 2.1.1 2002 PSF yes + 2.1.3 2.1.2 2002 PSF yes + 2.2 and above 2.1.1 2001-now PSF yes + +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. + + +B.
