The Python Software Foundation License is a BSD-style, permissive software license which is compatible with the GNU General Public License. Its primary use is for distribution of the Python project software and its documentation. Since the license is permissive, it allows proprietization of the derivations, and it is listed as approved on both the Free Software Foundation and Open Source Initiative approved license lists. It is also known as Python License 2.0.1. The article records that in 2000 Python, specifically version 2.1, was briefly available under the Python License, which is incompatible with the GPL.
