| 10 | History of the software |
| 11 | ======================= |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Python was created in the early 1990s by Guido van Rossum at Stichting |
| 14 | Mathematisch Centrum (CWI, see http://www.cwi.nl/) in the Netherlands as a |
| 15 | successor of a language called ABC. Guido remains Python's principal author, |
| 16 | although it includes many contributions from others. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | In 1995, Guido continued his work on Python at the Corporation for National |
| 19 | Research Initiatives (CNRI, see http://www.cnri.reston.va.us/) in Reston, |
| 20 | Virginia where he released several versions of the software. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | In May 2000, Guido and the Python core development team moved to BeOpen.com to |
| 23 | form the BeOpen PythonLabs team. In October of the same year, the PythonLabs |
| 24 | team moved to Digital Creations (now Zope Corporation; see |
| 25 | http://www.zope.com/). In 2001, the Python Software Foundation (PSF, see |
| 26 | http://www.python.org/psf/) was formed, a non-profit organization created |
| 27 | specifically to own Python-related Intellectual Property. Zope Corporation is a |
| 28 | sponsoring member of the PSF. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | All Python releases are Open Source (see http://www.opensource.org/ for the Open |
| 31 | Source Definition). Historically, most, but not all, Python releases have also |
| 32 | been GPL-compatible; the table below summarizes the various releases. |

| 128 | GPL-compatible doesn't mean that we're distributing Python under the GPL. All |
| 129 | Python licenses, unlike the GPL, let you distribute a modified version without |
| 130 | making your changes open source. The GPL-compatible licenses make it possible to |
| 131 | combine Python with other software that is released under the GPL; the others |
| 132 | don't. |
| 133 | |
| 134 | Thanks to the many outside volunteers who have worked under Guido's direction to |
| 135 | make these releases possible. |
