StreamOnTheFly started in 2002 as a consortium of an IT-research institute in Budapest (www.sztaki.hu) a radio station in Vienna (www.o94.at) the free software co-op PUBLIC VOICE Lab (www.pvl.at) and the technology transfer agency ENEA in Bologna. They own jointly the copyrights on the software which is published under the GPL license.

Today, many more partners have joined the StreamOnTheFly network and some of them are actively contributing to software enhancements. Developer Sprint Events are being organized by the Competence Network for Media Design (www.media.coop) which has been launched by Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences (www.fhv.at) and by Fachhochschule St. Poelten (www.fh-stpoelten.ac.at) in 2003 and which is lasting until the end of 2006. Customized solutions are being offered by PUBLIC VOICE Lab in close co-operation with its co-op members such as strg.at.
