History and License
*******************
History of the software
=======================
Python was created in the early 1990s by Guido van Rossum at Stichting
Mathematisch Centrum (CWI, see https://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 https://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
https://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 https://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.
+----------------+--------------+------------+------------+-----------------+
| Release | Derived from | Year | Owner | GPL compatible? |
+================+==============+============+============+=================+
| 0.9.0 thru 1.2 | n/a | 1991-1995 | CWI | yes |
+----------------+--------------+------------+------------+-----------------+
| 1.3 thru 1.5.2 | 1.2 | 1995-1999 | CNRI | yes |
+----------------+--------------+------------+------------+-----------------+
| 1.6 | 1.5.2 | 2000 | CNRI | no |
+----------------+--------------+------------+------------+-----------------+
| 2.0 | 1.6 | 2000 | BeOpen.com | no |
+----------------+--------------+------------+------------+-----------------+
| 1.6.1 | 1.6 | 2001 | CNRI | no |
+----------------+--------------+------------+------------+-----------------+

+----------------+--------------+------------+------------+-----------------+
| 2.2 and above | 2.1.1 | 2001-now | PSF | yes |
+----------------+--------------+------------+------------+-----------------+
.. note::
GPL-compatible doesn't mean that we're distributing Python under the GPL. All
Python licenses, unlike the GPL, let you distribute a modified version without
making your changes open source. The GPL-compatible licenses make it possible to
combine Python with other software that is released under the GPL; the others
don't.
Thanks to the many outside volunteers who have worked under Guido's direction to
make these releases possible.

The modules :mod:`hashlib`, :mod:`posix`, :mod:`ssl`, :mod:`crypt` use
the OpenSSL library for added performance if made available by the
operating system. Additionally, the Windows and Mac OS X installers for
Python may include a copy of the OpenSSL libraries, so we include a copy

==============
The OpenSSL toolkit stays under a dual license, i.e. both the conditions of
the OpenSSL License and the original SSLeay license apply to the toolkit.
See below for the actual license texts. Actually both licenses are BSD-style
Open Source licenses. In case of any license issues related to OpenSSL
