- 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.
