Cisco Cisco IPICS Release 2.1 Licensing Information

All Python releases are Open Source (see http://www.opensource.org for       

the Open Source Definition).  Historically, most, but not all, Python       

releases have also been GPL-compatible; the table below summarizes       

the various releases.

Footnotes:       

      

(1) GPL-compatible doesn't mean that we're distributing Python under       

   the GPL.  All Python licenses, unlike the GPL, let you distribute       

   a modified version without making your changes open source.  The       

   GPL-compatible licenses make it possible to combine Python with       

   other software that is released under the GPL; the others don't.       

      

Thanks to the many outside volunteers who have worked under Guido's       

direction to make these releases possible.
