The original [Subsonic](http://www.subsonic.org/) is developed by [Sindre Mehus](mailto:sindre@activeobjects.no). Subsonic was open source through version 6.0-beta1, and closed-source from then onwards.
Airsonic is maintained by [Eugene E. Kashpureff Jr](mailto:eugene@kashpureff.org). It originated as an unofficial("Kang") of Subsonic which did not contain the Licensing code checks present in the official builds. With the announcement of Subsonic's closed-source future, a decision was made to make a full fork and rebrand to Airsonic.
Libresonic was created and maintained by [Eugene E. Kashpureff Jr](mailto:eugene@kashpureff.org).

With the announcement of Subsonic's closed-source future, a decision was made to make a full fork and rebrand to Libresonic.
Airsonic will strive to maintain compatibility and stability for Subsonic users, including a clean upgrade path. New features and refactoring are welcomed as a Pull Request on GitHub.
Around July 2017, it was discovered that Eugene had different intentions/goals
for the project than some contributors had. Although the developers were
hesitant to create a fork as it would fracture/confuse the community even
further, it was deemed necessary in order to preserve a community-focused fork.
To reiterate this more clearly:
Airsonic's goal is to provide a full-featured, stable, self-hosted media server
based on the Subsonic codebase that is free, open source, and community driven.
Pull Requests are always welcome. Keep in mind that we strive to balance
stability with new features. As such, all Pull Requests are reviewed before
being merged to ensure we continue to meet our goals.
