-# History of HedgeDoc
-
-## It started with HackMD
-
-HackMD is the origin of this project, which was mostly developed by Max Wu and
-Yukai Huang. Originally, this was open source under MIT license, but was
-[relicensed in October 2017 to be AGPLv3](https://github.com/hackmdio/codimd/pull/578).
-At the same time, [hackmd.io](https://hackmd.io) was founded to offer a
-commercial version of HackMD.
-
-The AGPLv3-version was developed and released by the community, this was for a
-while referred to as "HackMD community edition".
-
-*For more on the splitting of the projects, please refer to [A note to our community (2017-10-11)](https://hackmd.io/c/community-news/https%3A%2F%2Fhackmd.io%2Fs%2Fr1_4j9_hZ).*
-
-## HackMD CE became CodiMD
-
-In June 2018, CodiMD was renamed from its former name "HackMD" and continued to
-be developed under AGPLv3 by the community. We decided to change the name to
-break the confusion between HackMD (enterprise offering) and CodiMD (community
-project), as people mistook it for an open core development model.
-
-*For the whole renaming story, see the [issue where the renaming was discussed](https://github.com/hackmdio/hackmd/issues/720).*
-
-## CodiMD went independent
-
-In March 2019, a discussion over licensing, governance and the future of CodiMD
-lead to the formation of a distinct GitHub organization. Up to that point, the
-community project resided in the organization of hackmdio but was for the most
-part self-organized.
-
-During that debate, we did not reach an agreement that would have allowed us to
-move the repository, so we simply forked it. We still welcome the HackMD team
-as part of our community, especially since a large portion of this code base
-originated with them.
-
-*For the debate that lead to this step, please refer to the [governance debate](https://github.com/hackmdio/hackmd/issues/1170) and [the announcement of the new repository](https://github.com/hedgedoc/hedgedoc/issues/10).*
-
-## CodiMD became HedgeDoc
-
-With two actively named forks sharing the same name, both [insisting on being
-the original/actual owner of the name CodiMD](https://github.com/hackmdio/codimd/issues/1219),
-people became rightfully confused about the projects sharing the same name.
-
-After roughly a year of being stuck on the name issue, the HedgeDoc community
-decided to take action and started a [renaming process in April 2020](https://community.codimd.org/t/renaming-yet-another-time/102).
-With a good head start in the amount of names, it was decided that an entire
-rebranding should take place and therefore, after a [name was agreed on in July
-2020](https://community.codimd.org/t/codimd-becomes-hedgedoc/170), the next step
-was to [find a logo](https://community.codimd.org/t/time-to-find-the-hedgedoc-logo/171).
-
-In November of 2020, roughly 7 months after the initiative was started, a logo was
-found, the rebranding of the application as well as all community pages took place
-and the time of name conflicts was over. (hopefully.)
