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.

HISTORY OF THE SOFTWARE
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
Python was created in the early 1990s by Guido van Rossum at Stichting
|
|
Mathematisch Centrum (CWI) in the Netherlands as a successor of a
|
|
language called ABC. Guido is Python's principal author, although it
|
|
includes many contributions from others. The last version released
|
|
from CWI was Python 1.2. In 1995, Guido continued his work on Python
|
|
at the Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI) in Reston,
|
|
Virginia where he released several versions of the software. Python
|
|
1.6 was the last of the versions released by CNRI. In 2000, Guido and
|
|
the Python core developement team moved to BeOpen.com to form the
|
|
BeOpen PythonLabs team (www.pythonlabs.com). Python 2.0 is the first
|
|
release from PythonLabs. Thanks to the many outside volunteers who
|
|
have worked under Guido's direction to make this release possible.
