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

-Footnotes:\r
-\r
-(1) GPL-compatible doesn't mean that we're distributing Python under\r
- the GPL. All Python licenses, unlike the GPL, let you distribute\r
- a modified version without making your changes open source. The\r
- GPL-compatible licenses make it possible to combine Python with\r
- other software that is released under the GPL; the others don't.\r
-\r
-(2) According to Richard Stallman, 1.6.1 is not GPL-compatible,\r
- because its license has a choice of law clause. According to\r
- CNRI, however, Stallman's lawyer has told CNRI's lawyer that 1.6.1\r
- is "not incompatible" with the GPL.\r
-\r
-Thanks to the many outside volunteers who have worked under Guido's\r
-direction to make these releases possible.\r
