10History of the software
11=======================
12
13Python was created in the early 1990s by Guido van Rossum at Stichting
14Mathematisch Centrum (CWI, see https://www.cwi.nl/) in the Netherlands as a
15successor of a language called ABC.  Guido remains Python's principal author,
16although it includes many contributions from others.
17
18In 1995, Guido continued his work on Python at the Corporation for National
19Research Initiatives (CNRI, see https://www.cnri.reston.va.us/) in Reston,
20Virginia where he released several versions of the software.
21
22In May 2000, Guido and the Python core development team moved to BeOpen.com to
23form the BeOpen PythonLabs team.  In October of the same year, the PythonLabs
24team moved to Digital Creations (now Zope Corporation; see
25http://www.zope.com/).  In 2001, the Python Software Foundation (PSF, see
26https://www.python.org/psf/) was formed, a non-profit organization created
27specifically to own Python-related Intellectual Property.  Zope Corporation is a
28sponsoring member of the PSF.
29
30All Python releases are Open Source (see https://opensource.org/ for the Open
31Source Definition). Historically, most, but not all, Python releases have also
32been GPL-compatible; the table below summarizes the various releases.

60.. note::
61
62   GPL-compatible doesn't mean that we're distributing Python under the GPL.  All
63   Python licenses, unlike the GPL, let you distribute a modified version without
64   making your changes open source. The GPL-compatible licenses make it possible to
65   combine Python with other software that is released under the GPL; the others
66   don't.
67
68Thanks to the many outside volunteers who have worked under Guido's direction to
69make these releases possible.

506   - Use binascii module to do the actual line-by-line conversion
507     between ascii and binary. This results in a 1000-fold speedup. The C
508     version is still 5 times faster, though.
