When launched in [[:Category:FoundedIn2001|2001]], Wikipedia was initially powered by [[:Category:UseMod Wiki|UseMod Wiki]], a wiki engine software package developed by [[CliffordAdams|Clifford Adams]] used to moderate the quality of posts on [[:Category:Usenet|Usenet]].  Wikipedia used this UseMod Wiki software during its first year of 2001, until 25 January [[:Category:FoundedIn2002|2002]], when it started to use the '{{Wp|Wikipedia:Phase II software|Phase II software}}' as developed by [[Magnus Manske]].  On 20 July 2002, 'Phase III software' (a complete rewrite of Manskes' Phase II by [[Lee Daniel Crocker]]) was released and used on the [[English Wikipedia]], and at the same time, was renamed [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]]. [http://UseMod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Comparison_Of_Usemod_With_Mediawiki]  MediaWiki has subsequently been extensively developed through continued collaborative evolutions, and as well as being used all 900-or-so wikis of the Wikimedia Foundation, MediaWiki is now used by thousands of other independent wiki sites and many [[:Category:Free MediaWiki wiki farm|free]] and commercial [[:Category:MediaWiki wiki farms|wiki farms]].

In respect of content [[:Category:Wiki License|licensing]], historically, when Wikipedia was founded, it released all textual [[wiki]] content under the 'copyleft' [[:Category:Wiki GNU Free Documentation License|GNU Free Documentation License]] (GNU Free Doc License, or GFDL).  However, during [[:Category:FoundedIn2009|2009]], all existing Wikipedia wikis migrated to a new license: the [[:Category:Wiki Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike|Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 unported license]] (CC-BY-SA 3.0); and all content published until that migration date could be retro-released under either or [[:Category:Wiki MultiLicense|both licenses]].  All content published ''after'' the migration date is released under only the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license, as are any newly created Wikipedia language versions.
