History
The development of DUNE started in 2002 on the initiative of Prof. Bastian (then Universität Heidelberg), Dr. Ohlberger (during his habilitation at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg), and Prof. Rumpf (then Universität Duisburg).

For the same reason a license was chosen which allows DUNE together with proprietary libraries. All main developers still have a university background.
