|
Fernando Perez began IPython in 2001 based on code from Janko Hauser
|
|
|
<jhauser-AT-zscout.de> and Nathaniel Gray <n8gray-AT-caltech.edu>. Fernando is still
|
|
|
the project lead.
|
|

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 (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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Miscellaneous
|
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some files (DPyGetOpt.py, for example) may be licensed under different
|
|
|
conditions. Ultimately each file indicates clearly the conditions under which
|
|
|
its author/authors have decided to publish the code.
|
|
|
|

Versions of IPython up to and including 0.6.3 were released under the GNU
