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. +After Python 2.0 was released by BeOpen.com, Guido van Rossum and the +other PythonLabs developers joined Digital Creations. The intention +is for all intellectual property added from this point on to be owned +by the Python Software Foundation (PSF), a non-profit that will be +created modeled after the Apache Software Foundation. We will also +attempt to get the ownership in previous versions transferred to the +PSF, and straighten out the license to remove the GPL-incompatibility +introduced by CNRI's Python 1.6 license. In the interim, Guido van +Rossum will own all new intellectual property, and no new license is +added. BEOPEN.COM TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR PYTHON 2.0
