The zxJDBC package was written by Brian Zimmer and was originally licensed under the GNU Public License. The package is now covered by Jython Software`s license. LPG Compatible does not mean that we distribute Python under the GPL. With all Python licenses, unlike GPL, you can distribute a modified version without making your changes open source. GPL-compatible licenses combine Python with other software published under the GPL; not the others. Python Software Foundation License (PSFL) is a BSD-style free software license that is compatible with the GNU General Public License (GPL). [1] Its main use is the distribution of The Python project software. Unlike the GPL, the Python license is not a copyleft license and allows the distribution of modified versions without a source code. The PSFL is allowed on both the FSF`s list of licenses[1] and the list of approved OSI licenses. Guido van Rossum, the creator of Python, was awarded the 2001 Free Software Foundation award for the Advancement of Free Software[3] for changing the license to address this incompatibility. In 2000, Python was briefly available under the Python license, which is not compatible with THE GPL. The reason for this incompatibility by the Free Software Foundation was that ”this Python license is subject to the laws of the State of Virginia in the United States,” which the GPL does not allow.
[2] The Python license is similar to the BSD license and, although it is a free software license, its wording in some versions meant that it was incompatible with the Gnu General Public License (GPL) which was used by a large amount of free software, including the Linux core. CNRI withdrew the license in 2001, and the license for the current versions is the property of the Python Software Foundation license. [2] 6. This licensing agreement is governed by California law and is interpreted in all respects, to the exclusion of conflict of laws. Nothing in this licensing agreement is considered to be a relationship between the agency, the partnership or the joint venture between BeOpen and the licensee. This license agreement does not give permission to use BeOpen trademarks or trademark trademarks to support or promote products or services of the licensee or a third party. Exceptionally, the ”BeOpen Python” logos available on www.pythonlabs.com/logos.html can be used based on permissions issued on this site. Starting with Python 3.8.6, examples, recipes and other codes are doubly conceded in the documentation under the PSF license agreement and the Zero-Clause BSD license. 2.
Subject to the terms of the BeOpen Python licensing agreement, BeOpen heresy grants the licensee a non-exclusive, free worldwide license for signing, analyzing, executing, executing, executing and/or displaying, preparing derivative works, distributing and using the Software, either alone or in a derivative version, provided that the BeOpen Python license is retained in the software, either alone or in a version produced by the licensee. Some software built into Python is under different licenses. Licenses are listed with the code that falls under this license. You will find an incomplete list of these licenses in licenses and confirmations for incorporated Software. This section is an incomplete but growing list of licenses and confirmations for third-party software built into Python distribution.
