A. HISTORY OF THE SOFTWARE
2-
==========================
3-
4-
Python was created in the early 1990s by Guido van Rossum at Stichting
5-
Mathematisch Centrum (CWI, see http://www.cwi.nl) in the Netherlands
6-
as a successor of a language called ABC. Guido remains Python's
7-
principal author, although it includes many contributions from others.
8-
9-
In 1995, Guido continued his work on Python at the Corporation for
10-
National Research Initiatives (CNRI, see http://www.cnri.reston.va.us)
11-
in Reston, Virginia where he released several versions of the
12-
software.
13-
14-
In May 2000, Guido and the Python core development team moved to
15-
BeOpen.com to form the BeOpen PythonLabs team. In October of the same
16-
year, the PythonLabs team moved to Digital Creations, which became
17-
Zope Corporation. In 2001, the Python Software Foundation (PSF, see
18-
https://www.python.org/psf/) was formed, a non-profit organization
19-
created specifically to own Python-related Intellectual Property.
20-
Zope Corporation was a sponsoring member of the PSF.
21-
22-
All Python releases are Open Source (see http://www.opensource.org for
23-
the Open Source Definition). Historically, most, but not all, Python
24-
releases have also been GPL-compatible; the table below summarizes
25-
the various releases.

Footnotes:
43-
44-
(1) GPL-compatible doesn't mean that we're distributing Python under
45-
the GPL. All Python licenses, unlike the GPL, let you distribute
46-
a modified version without making your changes open source. The
47-
GPL-compatible licenses make it possible to combine Python with
48-
other software that is released under the GPL; the others don't.
49-
50-
(2) According to Richard Stallman, 1.6.1 is not GPL-compatible,
51-
because its license has a choice of law clause. According to
52-
CNRI, however, Stallman's lawyer has told CNRI's lawyer that 1.6.1
53-
is "not incompatible" with the GPL.
54-
55-
Thanks to the many outside volunteers who have worked under Guido's
56-
direction to make these releases possible.
