With the creation of the MetaBrainz Foundation on 19 April 2005, the MusicBrainz project entered its second phase of life. In the first incarnation, the project had been privately maintained and focused primarily on collecting basic music metadata. The MusicBrainz project has grown considerably since then, using the legal backing and infrastructure of the MetaBrainz Foundation to continue to thrive and expand its scope.
