A. HISTORY OF THE SOFTWARE
32+
==========================
33+
34+
Python was created in the early 1990s by Guido van Rossum at Stichting
35+
Mathematisch Centrum (CWI, see http://www.cwi.nl) in the Netherlands
36+
as a successor of a language called ABC. Guido remains Python's
37+
principal author, although it includes many contributions from others.
38+
39+
In 1995, Guido continued his work on Python at the Corporation for
40+
National Research Initiatives (CNRI, see http://www.cnri.reston.va.us)
41+
in Reston, Virginia where he released several versions of the
42+
software.
43+
44+
In May 2000, Guido and the Python core development team moved to
45+
BeOpen.com to form the BeOpen PythonLabs team. In October of the same
46+
year, the PythonLabs team moved to Digital Creations (now Zope
47+
Corporation, see http://www.zope.com). In 2001, the Python Software
48+
Foundation (PSF, see http://www.python.org/psf/) was formed, a
49+
non-profit organization created specifically to own Python-related
50+
Intellectual Property. Zope Corporation is a sponsoring member of
51+
the PSF.
52+
53+
All Python releases are Open Source (see http://www.opensource.org for
54+
the Open Source Definition). Historically, most, but not all, Python
55+
releases have also been GPL-compatible; the table below summarizes
56+
the various releases.

Footnotes:
111+
112+
(1) GPL-compatible doesn't mean that we're distributing Python under
113+
the GPL. All Python licenses, unlike the GPL, let you distribute
114+
a modified version without making your changes open source. The
115+
GPL-compatible licenses make it possible to combine Python with
116+
other software that is released under the GPL; the others don't.
117+
118+
(2) According to Richard Stallman, 1.6.1 is not GPL-compatible,
119+
because its license has a choice of law clause. According to
120+
CNRI, however, Stallman's lawyer has told CNRI's lawyer that 1.6.1
121+
is "not incompatible" with the GPL.
122+
123+
Thanks to the many outside volunteers who have worked under Guido's
124+
direction to make these releases possible.
