[edit] History
Senuti was developed by Whitney Young, who started as a high school senior searching for a way to transfer music from his iPod onto a Mac computer. Upon realizing that a good solution did not exist, Whitney wrote one himself. He leveraged the developers in the open source community to help him write the code.[2] Senuti is now sold by a software company called FadingRed, of which Young is co-founder and lead developer.[3]
Senuti was originally released as GNU GPL software, the code following the 0.50.2 release was changed to payware in February 2009,[4] although publications such as Wired still referred to the product as Open Source code as late as April 2009.[5] The older, GPL'd version of this software an still be found at http://wstein.org/senuti/.[6]
