  1. What is the Python Software Foundation?

  4. The Python Software Foundation is an independent non-profit
  5. organization that holds the copyright on Python versions 2.1 and
  6. newer.  The PSF's mission is to advance open source technology related
  7. to the Python programming language and to publicize the use of Python.
  8. The PSF's home page is at https://www.python.org/psf/.

  15.  
  16. You can do anything you want with the source, as long as you leave the
  17. copyrights in and display those copyrights in any documentation about
  18. Python that you produce.  If you honor the copyright rules, it's OK to
  19. use Python for commercial use, to sell copies of Python in source or
  20. binary form (modified or unmodified), or to sell products that
  21. incorporate Python in some form.  We would still like to know about
  22. all commercial use of Python, of course.

  24. See the PSF license page to find further explanations and a link to
  25. the full text of the license.
  26.  
  27. The Python logo is trademarked, and in certain cases permission is
  28. required to use it.  Consult the Trademark Usage Policy for more
  29. information.
