History and License
*******************


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.

Note: 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.

Thanks to the many outside volunteers who have worked under Guido's
direction to make these releases possible.
