A. HISTORY OF THE SOFTWARE
19
==========================
21
Python was created in the early 1990s by Guido van Rossum at Stichting
22
Mathematisch Centrum (CWI, see http://www.cwi.nl) in the Netherlands
23
as a successor of a language called ABC. Guido remains Python's
24
principal author, although it includes many contributions from others.
26
In 1995, Guido continued his work on Python at the Corporation for
27
National Research Initiatives (CNRI, see http://www.cnri.reston.va.us)
28
in Reston, Virginia where he released several versions of the
31
In May 2000, Guido and the Python core development team moved to
32
BeOpen.com to form the BeOpen PythonLabs team. In October of the same
33
year, the PythonLabs team moved to Digital Creations (see
34
http://www.digicool.com). In 2001, the Python Software Foundation
35
(PSF, see http://www.python.org/psf/) was formed, a non-profit
36
organization created specifically to own Python-related Intellectual
37
Property. Digital Creations is a sponsoring member of the PSF.
39
All Python releases are Open Source (see http://www.opensource.org for
40
the Open Source Definition). Historically, most, but not all, Python
41
releases have also been GPL-compatible; the table below summarizes
44
Release Derived Year Owner GPL-
47
0.9.0 thru 1.2 1991-1995 CWI yes
48
1.3 thru 1.5.2 1.2 1995-1999 CNRI yes
49
1.6 1.5.2 2000 CNRI no
50
2.0 1.6 2000 BeOpen.com no
51
1.6.1 1.6 2001 CNRI no
52
2.1 2.0+1.6.1 2001 PSF no
53
2.0.1 2.0+1.6.1 2001 PSF yes
54
2.1.1 2.1+2.0.1 2001 PSF yes
55
2.2 2.1.1 2001 PSF yes
59
(1) GPL-compatible doesn't mean that we're distributing Python under
60
the GPL. All Python licenses, unlike the GPL, let you distribute
61
a modified version without making your changes open source. The
62
GPL-compatible licenses make it possible to combine Python with
63
other software that is released under the GPL; the others don't.
65
Thanks to the many outside volunteers who have worked under Guido's
66
direction to make these releases possible.
