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.

changes suggested by BobW.

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