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 (now Zope Corporation, see http://www.zope.com). In

2001, the Python Software Foundation (PSF, see http://www.python.org/psf/) was

formed, a non-profit organization created specifically to own Python-related Intellectual

Property. Zope Corporation is 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.
