Background

Open-AudIT was originally a script written in 1999 by Mark Unwin to audit computers on a network. He identified the need to extend the script to include a query based, web interface and released the project to the open source community in 2005 under a GPL v2 agreement.^[2]

A major version release occurred in 2008 which updated much of the backend architecture, improved functionality and also changed to a GPL v3 license.

In 2013, Opmantek acquired the rights to the intellectual property of Open-AudIT^[1] - promising to keep it free and open source.
