Our Copyright Policy | ||||
==================== | ||||
|
r1788 | IPython uses a shared copyright model. Each contributor maintains copyright | ||
over their contributions to IPython. But, it is important to note that these | ||||
|
r2276 | contributions are typically only changes (diffs/commits) to the repositories. | ||
Thus, the IPython source code, in its entirety is not the copyright of any | ||||
single person or institution. Instead, it is the collective copyright of the | ||||
entire IPython Development Team. If individual contributors want to maintain a | ||||
record of what changes/contributions they have specific copyright on, they | ||||
should indicate their copyright in the commit message of the change, when they | ||||
commit the change to one of the IPython repositories. | ||||
Any new code contributed to IPython must be licensed under the BSD license or | ||||
a similar (MIT) open source license. | ||||

Some files (DPyGetOpt.py, for example) may be licensed under different | ||||

r1788 | conditions. Ultimately each file indicates clearly the conditions under which | ||
its author/authors have decided to publish the code. | ||||
