35## About the IPython Development Team

37The IPython Development Team is the set of all contributors to the IPython project.
38This includes all of the IPython subprojects.

40The core team that coordinates development on GitHub can be found here:

43## Our Copyright Policy
44
45IPython uses a shared copyright model. Each contributor maintains copyright
46over their contributions to IPython. But, it is important to note that these
47contributions are typically only changes to the repositories. Thus, the IPython
48source code, in its entirety is not the copyright of any single person or
49institution.  Instead, it is the collective copyright of the entire IPython
50Development Team.  If individual contributors want to maintain a record of what
51changes/contributions they have specific copyright on, they should indicate
52their copyright in the commit message of the change, when they commit the
53change to one of the IPython repositories.
54
55With this in mind, the following banner should be used in any source code file
56to indicate the copyright and license terms:

58    # Copyright (c) IPython Development Team.
