Guido van Rossum 7df772b237 At CNRI's request, I'm changing the status of 1.6.1 from
not-GPL-compatible to GPL-compatible, with a footnote explaining that
RMS disagrees.  I'm not going to discuss this further -- both sides
(CNRI and RMS) will argue their POV till they're blue in the face.

Tim Peters b0f3ceaf8b Update table of releases. 2002-04-08 21:36:47 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 2e1c09c1fd Removed old Digital Creations copyright/license notices (with
permission from Paul Everitt).  Also removed a few other references to
Digital Creations and changed the remaining ones to Zope Corporation.

Michael W. Hudson 494cdb6d78 Add 2002 to PSF copyrights.
Doc/README is odd; it assigns some copyright to the PSF in 2000, when
I didn't think it existed...

Guido van Rossum 7b4dd76bb5 A new attempt at rationalizing the "history of the software" section,
with a table clarifying which releases are GPL-compatible.

Also unified the headings for the various licenses.

Guido van Rossum b2697005e2 Note that 2.0.1 is also a PSF release. (Gregor Hoffleit, SF #433223.) 2001-06-14 19:36:59 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 648b4de3d3 Make the license GPL-compatible. 2001-05-04 18:49:06 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 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).
2001-04-13 19:41:28 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 575d7f3f3f Oops. Need an extra blank line after the PSF license. 2001-04-13 15:04:31 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 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.
2001-04-13 15:04:00 +00:00
Guido van Rossum aa815df1e1 Correct the header over the string of licenses -- it's "PYTHON", not
"Python 1.6.1".

Thomas Wouters f5db48e72e Fix typo in history. 2001-03-22 16:03:53 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3225c1fa2a Updated history. Incorporated 1.6.1 license. 2001-03-22 15:41:06 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 71500c8293 Add note about copyright ownership and license situation. 2001-01-18 14:39:49 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 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)

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

Guido van Rossum 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.

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

Guido van Rossum 028d06938d Various edits. Most importantly, added dual licensing. Also some
changes suggested by BobW.
2000-09-03 03:13:44 +00:00
Guido van Rossum ea70b49080 Tentative license. Could still change for the 2.0b1 release and will
definitely change for the 2.0 final release.

Guido van Rossum a6a0ab4bab Adding a LICENSE file so we can have it in the 1.6 release. 2000-08-02 02:35:08 +00:00
