Released as open-source software by Netscape Communications in 1998, it has been adopted by a variety of organizations for use as a bug tracking system for both free and open-source software and proprietary projects and products. Bugzilla is used, among others, by the Mozilla Foundation, WebKit, Linux kernel, FreeBSD,[4] KDE, Apache, Eclipse and LibreOffice.[5] Red Hat uses it, but is gradually migrating its product to use Jira.[6][7] It is also self-hosting.[8]
