The Open Bioinformatics Foundation was started in 2001, arising from the [[BioJava]], [[BioPerl]] and [[BioPython]] projects. A formal membership for the foundation was created in 2005.<ref name=obf-main /> In October 2012, the foundation began an association with [[Software in the Public Interest]] (SPI), a US-based non-profit which aids other organizations in the creation and distribution of [[free software|free]] and [[open-source software]]. The association with SPI allows financial donations to the foundation (these are 501(c)3 tax-exempt in the US).<ref name=obf-main /><ref name=spi-obf>{{cite web|title=obf|url=http://spi-inc.org/projects/obf/|website=spi-inc.org|accessdate=1 September 2014}}</ref>
