  have worked under Guido's direction to make this release possible.
  
+ After Python 2.0 was released by BeOpen.com, Guido van Rossum and the
+ other PythonLabs developers joined Digital Creations.  The intention
+ is for all intellectual property added from this point on to be owned
+ by the Python Software Foundation (PSF), a non-profit that will be
+ created modeled after the Apache Software Foundation.  We will also
+ attempt to get the ownership in previous versions transferred to the
+ PSF, and straighten out the license to remove the GPL-incompatibility
+ introduced by CNRI's Python 1.6 license.  In the interim, Guido van
+ Rossum will own all new intellectual property, and no new license is
+ added.
