终身仁慈独裁者

终身仁慈独裁者（英語：Benevolent Dictator For Life，缩写BDFL）是少数开源软件开发者所拥有的头衔。他们通常是某一项目的创始人，并在该项目社区出现争议时拥有最终的决定权。

这一称号诞生于1995年，最初用来指Python语言的创始人吉多·范罗苏姆。^[1]^[2]当时在范罗苏姆刚加入全国研究创新联合会（英语：Corporation for National Research Initiatives）后，肯马·内梅尔（英语：Ken Manheimer）在一封邮件中试图创立一个监管Python语言开发的半正式团体。他在该邮件中首次使用了BDFL这一称呼，并戏称范罗苏姆为“首任临时BDFL”。^[1]2018年7月12日，范罗苏姆宣布不再出任Python语言的BDFL。^[3]

值得一提的是，BDFL与另一个用来指开源运动领导人的称呼“仁慈的独裁者”（benevolent dictator）的含义并不一致。后者因埃里克·雷蒙的《开拓智域》（Homesteading the Noosphere）一文而广为人知。雷蒙在文中提到，开源软件运动的本质会促使“独裁者”保持仁慈，否则巨大的分歧会导致项目被复刻并由新的领导所掌管。^[4]
