OpenBoard is a free and open-source interactive whiteboard software compatible with any projector and pointing device.

It was originally forked from Open-Sankoré in 2013[2] with the intention to focus on simplicity and stability.

[4] Open-Sankoré itself is based on the Uniboard software originally developed at the University of Lausanne (UL), Switzerland.

The project was later spun off to a local startup company, Mnemis SA.

It was subsequently sold to the French Public Interest Grouping for Digital Education in Africa (GIP ENA) which bought the intellectual property of the software in order to make it an open source project[5] under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL-2.0-only).
