HistoryThe project started as a student project at the French École Centrale Paris, in 1996. After a complete rewrite in 1998, it became Open Source, thanks to the agreement of the École Centrale Paris, in 2001. The project started to open up to developers outside of the École. It is now a worldwide project with developers from 20 countries. Since 2009, the project is completly separated from École Centrale Paris, and is backed up by an autonomous non-profit organisation. |
