1.6 was the last of the versions released by CNRI. In 2000, Guido and
the Python core development team moved to BeOpen.com to form the
! BeOpen PythonLabs team (www.pythonlabs.com). 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.

1.6 was the last of the versions released by CNRI. In 2000, Guido and
the Python core development team moved to BeOpen.com to form the
! BeOpen PythonLabs team. Python 2.0 was the first and only release
! from BeOpen.com.
+ Following the release of Python 1.6, and after Guido van Rossum left
+ CNRI to work with commercial software developers, it became clear that
+ the ability to use Python with software available under the GNU Public
+ License (GPL) was very desirable. CNRI and the Free Software
+ Foundation (FSF)interacted to develop enabling wording changes to the
+ Python license. Python 1.6.1 is essentially the same as Python 1.6,
+ with a few minor bug fixes, and with a GPL compatible open source
+ license. Python 2.1 is a derivative work of Python 1.6.1, as well as
+ of Python 2.0.

After Python 2.0 was released by BeOpen.com, Guido van Rossum and the
! other PythonLabs developers joined Digital Creations. All
! intellectual property added from this point on, starting with Python
! 2.1 and its alpha and beta releases, is owned by the Python Software
! Foundation (PSF), a non-profit modeled after the Apache Software
! Foundation. See http://www.python.org/psf/ for more information about
! the PSF.
