Line 1: Line 1:
In Jython 2.2, the PSF license is used as the main license.
Charles Groves would like to be able to remove the Jython 2.0/2.1 license from the LICENSE.txt file in Jython.
From 2.2 forward, Jython is using the PSF license. To use it, all new contributors need to send in the [[http://www.python.org/psf/contrib/contrib-form/|PSF contribution form]]. The form allows the PSF to relicense the code the contributor has written under its own license, and if the need arises, to change the license in the future; the contributor still retains the copyright for the work. See the [[http://www.python.org/psf/contrib/|contribution agreement]] page for more detail.
Line 4: Line 3:
To make this legally possible, we need to get signed contributor agreements from everyone who contributed to
the 2.0 and 2.1 releases.

Line 7: Line 5:
If you participated in 2.0 and 2.1, you should
print out the Contribution Agreement for Jython, sign it, and mail/fax the signed
form to the PSF:
The notation '(covered)' next to a name means that the PSF has a contributor agreement on file for the person. '(emailed)' means a request has been emailed to them to send in an agreement.
