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.
