    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.
