The software started to be developed in 2003 and was first used by the instructors of the UL in October 2003. 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{{cite web|url=https://github.com/Sankore/|title=Claudio Valerio|website=GitHub |publisher=|access-date=12 February 2017}} under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL-2.0-only).{{cite web |url=http://open-sankore.org/en/history |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120201063949/http://open-sankore.org/en/history |url-status=dead |archive-date=1 February 2012 |title=History |publisher=Open-Sankoré |access-date=26 April 2012 }}
