Unfortunately, this only happened years later, after the name phpAdsNew was too well established to be changed.<ref name="NielsPostOpenX" />

			During the time period between 2001 and 2002, new features new features were added and existing ones improved. After the release of version 1.9, a completely revised version 2.0 was finally released on September 29, 2004, led by Niels Leenheer.<ref name="NielsPostOpenX" /> Developer Scott Switzer began working on the project then, with hopes of updating the content for a version 2.1 release. This, however, didn't happen; rather, the code ended up being modified for employer Unanimus and released as "MaxMediaManager."<ref name="NielsPostOpenX" /> The software was taken back to the open source community eventually, culminating in phpAdsNew, phpPgAds and MaxMediaManager becoming "OpenAds" in late-2006. phpAdsNew became OpenAds version 2.0 and MaxMediaManager transitions to version 2.3.<ref name="OpenadsChange">{{cite web \|url=http://www.adminfusion.com/forums//archive/index.php/t-13664.html \|title=Openads? \|author=bdude \|publisher=AdminFusion \|date=27 December 2006 \|accessdate=23 January 2013}}</ref><ref name="NielsPostOpenX" />

			When version 2.4.4 was released on February 21, 2008, OpenAds was once again rebranded under a new name: OpenX.<ref name="OX244" />

			In 2011, OpenX Software disabled direct downloads of the free open-source version. Former developer Wim Godden subsequently made all GPL versions from phpAds 1.2.0 to OpenX 2.8.9 available.<ref name="OXGoddenDLoads" /> Since then, downloads of OpenX Source have been re-enabled, though only for the latest version.<ref name="SourceDLoad">{{cite web \|url=http://www.openx.com/products/source-download \|title=Download OpenX Source \|publisher=OpenX Software Ltd \|accessdate=23 January 2013}}</ref> Older versions can still be found via Godden's download page.
