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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
