About the IPython Development Team
|
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fernando Perez began IPython in 2001 based on code from Janko Hauser
|
|
|
<jhauser@zscout.de> and Nathaniel Gray <n8gray@caltech.edu>. Fernando is still
|
|
|
the project lead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The IPython Development Team is the set of all contributors to the IPython
|
|
|
project. This includes all of the IPython subprojects. A full list with
|
|
|
details is kept in the documentation directory, in the file
|
|
|
``about/credits.txt``.
|
|
|
|

|
The core team that coordinates development on GitHub can be found here:

Our Copyright Policy
|
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
IPython uses a shared copyright model. Each contributor maintains copyright
|
|
|
over their contributions to IPython. But, it is important to note that these
|
|
|
contributions are typically only changes 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
With this in mind, the following banner should be used in any source code file
|
|
|
to indicate the copyright and license terms:
