The ZIMreader provided by openZIM is just an example application, free to use and open source. It has been developed under the name "tntzenoreader" in 2007 by Tommi Mäkitalo, the developer of tntnet (and now lead developer of openZIM), to be used on the german Wikipedia DVD. The "Wikipedia DVD 2007/2008" contained Zeno files, the proprietary ''ZenoReader'' by DirectMedia and the free ''tntzenoreader'' as source tarball, Linux packages and Mac OS X package.
