Guido is Python's principal author, although it +includes many contributions by others. The last version released from +CWI was Python 1.2. In 1995, Guido continued his work on Python at +the Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI) in Reston, +Virginia where he released several versions of the software. Python +1.6 was the last of the versions released by CNRI. In 2000, Guido and +the Python core developement team moved to BeOpen.com to form tbe +BeOpen PythonLabs group. Python 2.0 is a derivative work of Python +1.6, developed by PythonLabs and many outside volunteers, under +Guido's direction. + + +TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR ACCESSING OR OTHERWISE USING PYTHON 2.0 +================================================================ + +BEOPEN LICENSE AGREEMENT +------------------------ + +BEOPEN OPEN SOURCE LICENSE AGREEMENT + +1.
