OpenLaszlo was originally called the Laszlo Presentation Server (LPS). Development began in the fall of 2001.  Preview versions were released to select partners throughout 2002. Several of these were used for the first deployed Laszlo application, for Behr paint.<ref>[http://behr.com Behr paint]</ref>  The first general release of LPS was in early 2002.

In October 2004, Laszlo Systems released the full [[source code]] to the Laszlo Presentation Server under the [[GNU General Public License]] (GPL), and initiated the OpenLaszlo project.  In 2005, coincident with the release of version 3.0, the name of the Laszlo Presentation Server was changed to OpenLaszlo.
