-
- A. HISTORY OF THE SOFTWARE
- ==========================
-
- Python was created in the early 1990s by Guido van Rossum at Stichting
- Mathematisch Centrum (CWI, see http://www.cwi.nl) in the Netherlands
- as a successor of a language called ABC. Guido remains Python's
- principal author, although it includes many contributions from others.
-
- In 1995, Guido continued his work on Python at the Corporation for
- National Research Initiatives (CNRI, see http://www.cnri.reston.va.us)
- in Reston, Virginia where he released several versions of the
- software.
-
- In May 2000, Guido and the Python core development team moved to
- BeOpen.com to form the BeOpen PythonLabs team. In October of the same
- year, the PythonLabs team moved to Digital Creations, which became
- Zope Corporation. In 2001, the Python Software Foundation (PSF, see
- https://www.python.org/psf/) was formed, a non-profit organization
- created specifically to own Python-related Intellectual Property.
- Zope Corporation was a sponsoring member of the PSF.
-
- All Python releases are Open Source (see http://www.opensource.org for
- the Open Source Definition). Historically, most, but not all, Python
- releases have also been GPL-compatible; the table below summarizes
- the various releases.
-
- Release Derived Year Owner GPL-
- from compatible? (1)
-
- 0.9.0 thru 1.2 1991-1995 CWI yes
- 1.3 thru 1.5.2 1.2 1995-1999 CNRI yes
- 1.6 1.5.2 2000 CNRI no
- 2.0 1.6 2000 BeOpen.com no
- 1.6.1 1.6 2001 CNRI yes (2)
- 2.1 2.0+1.6.1 2001 PSF no
- 2.0.1 2.0+1.6.1 2001 PSF yes
- 2.1.1 2.1+2.0.1 2001 PSF yes
- 2.1.2 2.1.1 2002 PSF yes
- 2.1.3 2.1.2 2002 PSF yes
- 2.2 and above 2.1.1 2001-now PSF yes
-
- Footnotes:
-
- (1) GPL-compatible doesn't mean that we're distributing Python under
- the GPL. All Python licenses, unlike the GPL, let you distribute
- a modified version without making your changes open source. The
- GPL-compatible licenses make it possible to combine Python with
- other software that is released under the GPL; the others don't.
-
- (2) According to Richard Stallman, 1.6.1 is not GPL-compatible,
- because its license has a choice of law clause. According to
- CNRI, however, Stallman's lawyer has told CNRI's lawyer that 1.6.1
- is "not incompatible" with the GPL.
-
- Thanks to the many outside volunteers who have worked under Guido's
- direction to make these releases possible.
