b2697005e2 Note that 2.0.1 is also a PSF release. (Gregor Hoffleit, SF #433223.) 2001-06-14 19:36:59 +00:00

648b4de3d3 Make the license GPL-compatible. 2001-05-04 18:49:06 +00:00

859d9b5097 Tim convinced me to augment the PSF license with a final clause just
like the one in the BeOpen license (and similar to the one in the CNRI
license, but with the "click-to-accept" part elided).

575d7f3f3f Oops. Need an extra blank line after the PSF license. 2001-04-13 15:04:31 +00:00

9ea60c51bb - Inserted the (tentative) PSF license.
- Removed the subsection numbering in section B (each time a new
  license is inserted in the front, the others have to be renumbered).

- Changed the words in the intro to avoid implying that 1.6.1 is
  GPL-compatible.

aa815df1e1 Correct the header over the string of licenses -- it's "PYTHON", not
"Python 1.6.1".

9d64479cb2 Typo detected by "the miraculous Debian package lint tool "lintian"
(http://package.debian.org/lintian), which includes a spellchecker for
common typos in control files of packages... You see, we're so
paranoid that we even have automatic tools that keep monitoring
license files ;-)"  (Gregor Hoffleit)

ea761c0d9e Place the full text of the CNRI license verbatim in the LICENSE file.
Who know where the handle will point to tomorrow?

82271161cc Since it looks like the dual license clause may be neither necessary
nor sufficient to make Python 2.0 compatible with the GPL, we won't
bother with it now.

In other words, we're still where we were weeks ago -- CNRI believes
that its license is GPL-compatible, Stallman says it's not.  I'm
trying to arrange a meeting between their lawyers so they can work it
out.  Whether dual licensing is the solution is open at this point.
If it is the (only!) solution, we'll add that to the BeOpen license
for 2.0 final.

2e0d3311f7 Changes in license names by BobW. 2000-09-04 00:58:48 +00:00

ac1c818f13 Properly name and number the BEOPEN OPEN SOURCE PYTHON LICENSE
AGREEMENT VERSION 1.

trade name -> trade names.

Note: depending on community feedback, we may end up taking the dual
licensing clause out for 2.0b1, and put it back into 2.0final, if
there's no other solution for assuring GPL compatibility by then.

See my message to python-dev and license-py20.

028d06938d Various edits. Most importantly, added dual licensing. Also some
changes suggested by BobW.

ea70b49080 Tentative license. Could still change for the 2.0b1 release and will
definitely change for the 2.0 final release.
