Our Copyright Policy

PyData uses a shared copyright model. Each contributor maintains copyright over their contributions to PyData. However, it is important to note that these contributions are typically only changes to the repositories. Thus, the PyData source code, in its entirety, is not the copyright of any single person or institution. Instead, it is the collective copyright of the entire PyData 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 PyData repositories.

With this in mind, the following banner should be used in any source code file to indicate the copyright and license terms:
