[edit] History
[edit] Origins
The development efforts for openCRX started in 2003 using the open source MDA platform, openMDX. The initial version of the core models of openCRX was released in February of 2004. The first public version was released on 1st August 2004 on SourceForge and made it to the Top100 by 9th August 2004. Within a year it had topped 85,000 downloads.[1] By June 2007, the total downloads had crossed 175,000.[2]
[edit] License
Unlike other leading open source Customer Relationship Management (CRM) options like SugarCRM, openCRX is based on BSD License.[3] This allows the developers to contribute to the code and still retain the copyrights unlike in SugarCRM or in Centric CRM[4], where as per their licensing terms, the copyright to the code has to be transferred to SugarCRM.
