History
The original CamStudio was released as an open source product by RenderSoft software in October 2001[1]. The source code license was converted to GPL in December 2002 with release 1.8[2]. The Source code of versions 1.0, 1.4 and 2.0 are still available at SourceForge In 2003 the company was acquired by eHelp Corporation who owned a competing product called RoboDemo (now called Adobe Captivate [3] [4] [5] ). eHelp Corporation released an updated version as CamStudio 2.1 under a proprietary software license only and removed the ability to create SWFs[6]. A succession of acquisitions led to the company being owned by Adobe. Development of CamStudio 2.0 (the last open-source version) was resumed and released as free software again in September 2007 with the CamStudio 2.5 Beta 1 release. Accordingly, it was re-branded as CamStudio Open Source. The project is currently seeking developers.
