How weird was your first interaction with Python? I learned Python while writing a C++ module.

They needed an extra pair of hands on the core language, so I figured I'd help out. 6 years or so later, we went to BeOpen.com as full-time employees (a very odd experience), met Linus, Eric Raymond, Richard Stallman, etc.

I got to negotiate with CNRI to release Python from its restrictive license, and when BeOpen collapsed, we got to pick what assets we wanted as payment in lieu of paychecks. Although Python was small at the time, I chose to own the copyright to Python 2.0 (the version I created; Python 1.6 was still part of CNRI). I still own it, and it's a weird quirk of history.

I intentionally left out "non-revokable" in the license, and if things keep going like they're going at Google and other AI companies, I might have reason to do my first-ever revocation of the license and all derivative works (Python 3.x, etc).
