In September of 2006, the Joomla project was released to the public as an open source software project. The project was started by two brothers, David and Andrew Kornfield, and developed by a team of volunteers. The Kornfield brothers initially released the software under the GNU General Public License, but later changed the license to the GNU General Public License v2.0.
The software is released under the GNU General Public License v2.0 because the Kornfield brothers wanted to ensure that the software could be freely distributed and modified. Joomla is currently maintained by a team of more than seventy developers, and the project has a community of more than two million users.
The Kornfield brothers have not been involved in the development of Joomla since 2006. The project is currently managed by the Joomla Foundation, a non-profit organization.
