Python历史和许可证

python lib

该软件的历史¶

Python 由荷兰数学和计算机科学研究学会(CWI,见 https://www.cwi.nl/ )的 Guido van Rossum 于 1990 年代初设计,作为一门叫做 ABC 的语言的替代品。尽管 Python 包含了许多来自其他人的贡献,Guido 仍是其主要作者。

1995 年,Guido 在弗吉尼亚州的国家创新研究公司(CNRI,见 https://www.cnri.reston.va.us/ )继续他在 Python 上的工作,并在那里发布了该软件的多个版本。

2000 年五月,Guido 和 Python 核心开发团队转到 BeOpen.com 并组建了 BeOpen PythonLabs 团队。 同年十月,PythonLabs 团队转到 Digital Creations (现为 Zope Corporation;见 https://www.zope.org/)。 2001 年,Python 软件基金会 (PSF,见 https://www.python.org/psf/) 成立,这是一个专为拥有 Python 相关知识产权而创建的非营利组织。 Zope Corporation 现在是 PSF 的赞助成员。

所有的 Python 版本都是开源的(有关开源的定义参阅 https://opensource.org/ )。历史上,绝大多数 Python 版本是 GPL 兼容的;下表总结了各个版本情况。

注解

GPL 兼容并不意味着 Python 在 GPL 下发布。与 GPL 不同,所有 Python 许可证都允许您分发修改后的版本,而无需开源所做的更改。GPL 兼容的许可证使得 Python 可以与其它在 GPL 下发布的软件结合使用;但其它的许可证则不行。

感谢众多在 Guido 指导下工作的外部志愿者,使得这些发布成为可能。
