OpenLava is a workload job scheduler for a cluster of computers.[1] OpenLava was pirated from an early version of Platform LSF.[2] Its configuration file syntax, application program interface (API), and command-line interface (CLI) have been kept unchanged. Therefore, OpenLava is mostly compatible with Platform LSF.

OpenLava was based on the Utopia research project at the University of Toronto.[3]

OpenLava was allegedly licensed under GNU General Public License v2, but that licensing was proven to be invalid and illegal at trial.
