  31. About the IPython Development Team
  32. ----------------------------------
  33. Fernando Perez began IPython in 2001 based on code from Janko Hauser
  34. <jhauser@zscout.de> and Nathaniel Gray <n8gray@caltech.edu>. Fernando is still
  35. the project lead.
  36. The IPython Development Team is the set of all contributors to the IPython
  37. project. This includes all of the IPython subprojects. A full list with
  38. details is kept in the documentation directory, in the file
  39. ``about/credits.txt``.
  40. The core team that coordinates development on GitHub can be found here:
  41. https://github.com/ipython/.
  42. Our Copyright Policy
  43. --------------------
  44. IPython uses a shared copyright model. Each contributor maintains copyright
  45. over their contributions to IPython. But, it is important to note that these
  46. contributions are typically only changes to the repositories. Thus, the IPython
  47. source code, in its entirety is not the copyright of any single person or
  48. institution. Instead, it is the collective copyright of the entire IPython
  49. Development Team. If individual contributors want to maintain a record of what
  50. changes/contributions they have specific copyright on, they should indicate
  51. their copyright in the commit message of the change, when they commit the
  52. change to one of the IPython repositories.
  53. With this in mind, the following banner should be used in any source code file
  54. to indicate the copyright and license terms:
  55. ::
  56. # Copyright (c) IPython Development Team.
  57. # Distributed under the terms of the Modified BSD License.
