+About the IPython Development Team
+----------------------------------
+
+Fernando Perez began IPython in 2001 based on code from Janko Hauser
+<jhauser@zscout.de> and Nathaniel Gray <n8gray@caltech.edu>.  Fernando is still
+the project lead.
+
+The IPython Development Team is the set of all contributors to the IPython
+project.  This includes all of the IPython subprojects. A full list with
+details is kept in the documentation directory, in the file
+``about/credits.txt``.
+
+The core team that coordinates development on GitHub can be found here:
+https://github.com/ipython/.
+
+Our Copyright Policy
+--------------------
+
+IPython uses a shared copyright model. Each contributor maintains copyright
+over their contributions to IPython. But, it is important to note that these
+contributions are typically only changes to the repositories. Thus, the IPython
+source code, in its entirety is not the copyright of any single person or
+institution.  Instead, it is the collective copyright of the entire IPython
+Development Team.  If individual contributors want to maintain a record of what
+changes/contributions they have specific copyright on, they should indicate
+their copyright in the commit message of the change, when they commit the
+change to one of the IPython repositories.
+
+With this in mind, the following banner should be used in any source code file 
+to indicate the copyright and license terms:
+
+::
+
+    # Copyright (c) IPython Development Team.
+    # Distributed under the terms of the Modified BSD License.
