=== OpenMPT ===
Lapicque's MPT code was taken up by a group of tracker musicians/programmers and is now known as '''OpenMPT'''. Also based on the ModPlug code is OpenMPT's "sister project" ''Schism Tracker'' which contributed several [[backport]]s of [[bugfix]]es to OpenMPT.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://schismtracker.org/wiki/Modplug |title=Modplug |last=storlek |publisher=schismtracker.org |date=2011-02-01 |access-date=2011-02-05 |quote=''Schism Tracker uses a highly customized version of the Modplug library, [...].

OpenMPT is distributed as [[free software]] and is, as of August 2022, under active development. Until May 2009 (v1.17.02.53)<ref>[https://openmpt.org/release_notes/History.txt History]</ref> OpenMPT was licensed under the [[Copyleft]] [[GNU General Public License|GPL-2.0-or-later]] and then [[Software relicensing|relicensed]] under the terms of the [[permissive license|permissive]] [[BSD licenses|BSD-3-Clause]]. Since OpenMPT 1.23 (March 2014), OpenMPT is also available as a 64-bit application.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://openmpt.org/openmpt-1-23-01-00-released|title=OpenMPT 1.23.01.00 released |date=2014-03-29 |access-date=2014-03-30}}</ref> This allows musicians to use 64-bit [[Virtual Studio Technology|VST plugins]] and make use of the entire [[Random-access memory|physical memory]] on 64-bit systems. For this purpose, OpenMPT provides its own plugin bridge, which can be used to run plugins with a different bitness than the host in a separate process, or to run plugin in a [[Sandbox (computer security)|sandbox]] and prevent them from crashing the host application.
