ProjectLibre is written in the Java programming language, and will thus theoretically run on any machine for which a fully functioning Java virtual machine (JVM) exists. Currently, ProjectLibre is certified to run on Linux, MacOS, and Microsoft Windows.[2] It is released under the Common Public Attribution License (CPAL) and qualifies as free software according to the Free Software Foundation.

History[edit]
Marc O'Brien, Howard Katz, and Laurent Chretienneau developed OpenProj at Projity in 2007. It moved out of beta with Version 1.0 on January 10, 2008.

In late 2008, Projity was acquired by Silver Lake Partners (the private equity firm) via its subsidiary at that time, Serena Software.[4]
In November 2008, support and development of OpenProj appeared suspended.[5] There were a few later commits to the CVS with regressions, but no improvements. It is no longer compatible with Microsoft Project.
In 2012, the founders of OpenProj announced that they had forked the OpenProj codebase and started a different implementation.
Serena announced and posted online to avoid downloading OpenProj and instead download ProjectLibre.
The initial release of ProjectLibre occurred in August 2012. ProjectLibre has been completely rewritten and thus technically ceased to be a fork.[6]
The team is looking in late 2019 to release a Cloud/SaaS version, which will extend the desktop features with team and enterprise features.

Comparison to Microsoft Project[edit]
Compared to Microsoft Project, which it closely emulates, ProjectLibre has a similar user interface (UI) including a ribbon-style menu, and a similar approach to construction of a project plan: create an indented task list or work breakdown structure (WBS), set durations, create links (either by (a) mouse drag, (b) selection and then button-down, or (c) manually type in the 'predecessor' column), assign resources. The columns (fields) look the same as for Microsoft Project. Costing features are comparable: labour, hourly rate, material usage, and fixed costs: these are all provided.[7]
