9. • The CloudStack project began as a project of a start-up known as VMOps in 2008. The company
eventually changed its name to Cloud.com, and it released much of the source to CloudStack in
May 2010 under the GNU General Public License version 3 (GPLv3).
• Cloud.com was purchased in July 2011 by Citrix, and the remainder of CloudStack's code was
released (again, under the GPLv3) in August 2011. Citrix released CloudStack 3.0 in early 2012.
• In April 2012, Citrix re-licensed CloudStack under the Apache Software License 2.0 (ASLv2) and
submitted CloudStack to the Apache Incubator. It was accepted into the Incubator on April 16th,
2012.
• After getting its infrastructure and community processes in place, CloudStack made its first major
release (4.0.0-incubating) from the Apache Incubator on November 6th, 2012. The first minor
release (4.0.1-incubating) came out on February 12, 2013.
• Apache CloudStack graduated from the Incubator on March 20, 2013, and the announcement was
released on March 25, 2013.
