Guido van Rossum | ea70b49 | 2000-09-01 19:51:14 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 3 | |
| 4 | Python was created in the early 1990s by Guido van Rossum at Stichting |
Guido van Rossum | 7b4dd76 | 2001-07-17 20:14:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 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. |
Guido van Rossum | 3225c1f | 2001-03-22 15:41:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 8 | |
Guido van Rossum | 7b4dd76 | 2001-07-17 20:14:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 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. |

Guido van Rossum | 7b4dd76 | 2001-07-17 20:14:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 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 |
Mariatta | 8474d87 | 2017-07-31 11:16:14 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 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. |

| 23 | the Open Source Definition). Historically, most, but not all, Python |
| 24 | releases have also been GPL-compatible; the table below summarizes |

| 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. |
Guido van Rossum | 3225c1f | 2001-03-22 15:41:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 49 | |
Guido van Rossum | 7df772b | 2002-04-11 20:54:35 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 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 | |
Guido van Rossum | 3225c1f | 2001-03-22 15:41:06 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 55 | Thanks to the many outside volunteers who have worked under Guido's |
| 56 | direction to make these releases possible. |
