The notability of Tiny Personal Firewall stems from the fact that it was always offered as "free for home and personal use", fairly easy to use and has a small hard disk and memory footprint. [11]
In 2001 Kerio Technologies was formed, and in February, 2002, the rights to the software was transferred to Kerio [12] where the original team whom developed the software under the Tiny brand would continue to develop it as Kerio.
Despite all this, Tiny Software continued to develop a software firewall solution called Tiny Firewall v6 [13]; this was not based on the original Tiny Personal Firewall. On December 17, 2004 it was announced that it would be released as Tiny Personal Firewall 2005 [14].
On June 27, 2005 Tiny Software was acquired by Computer Associates [15]; since then their CA Personal Firewall has boasted as being "based on Tiny Software technology" [16].
