HISTORY


The FIFE project was founded by members of a similar project called ianOut. ianOut was not released under a GPL compatible license, the preferred license for the new project, which prevented a direct source code Fork ; additionally, the FIFE team believed that there were inherent design flaws in ianOut. Having considered the time consuming nature of fixing such the design flaw and the legal uncertainty of forking ianOut, the FIFE team agreed to start their work from scratch.
