Product history
The project started out in February 2007 as an open-source project with a limited license, distributed under the name Sonar and developed by Swiss IT consultancy company Hortis GRC.[2][3] On November 21, 2007, version 1.0.0 of Sonar was released.[1] Early development occurred at Codehaus.org, though GitHub began to be utilized in September 2010.[4] In November 2008, a new IT company was spun off of Hortis called SonarSource, which essentially took control of the direction of the open-source software and distributed it under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0.[3]
In 2009 and 2010, the software won a Jolt Productivity Award for the Testing Tools category.[5][6]
On March 19, 2013, SonarSource co-founder Freddy Mallet announced due to trademark issues with the name "Sonar," the name of the software would change to SonarQube "in the next 3 to 4 months."[7] On July 3, 2013, version 3.6 was released, the first under the new SonarQube name.[8]
