“Less than half a year ago, I moved with my team to BeOpen.com,
in the hope of finding a new permanent home for Python development.
At BeOpen, we’ve done several good things for Python, such as
moving the Python and Jython development process to SourceForge,
and the successful release of Python 2.0.”
“Unfortunately, BeOpen.com’s original plans for PythonLabs
didn’t work out as hoped, and we weren’t able to reach mutual
agreement on workable alternative plans — despite trying for
months.“
“…Python will remain Open Source; Digital Creations has no
desire to monetize or brand the Python language or specific Python
distributions. All future work we do on Python as Digital Creations
employees will be owned by a non-profit organization yet to be
created. We think of this new organization as the Python Software
Foundation. In the meantime (while the PSF is under construction) I
will own such copyrights personally.”
