Released under the MIT License,StepManiais open-source free software.

StepMania was originally developed as an open source clone of Konami's arcade game seriesDance Dance Revolution(DDR). During the first three major versions, the Interface was based heavily on DDR's. New versions were released relatively quickly at first, culminating in version 3.9 in 2005. In 2010, after almost 5 years of work without a stable release, StepMania creator Chris Danford forked a 2006 build of StepMania, paused development on the bleeding edge branch, and labeled the new branch StepMania 4 beta. A separate development team called the Spinal Shark Collective forked the bleeding edge branch and continued work on it, branding it sm-ssc. On 30 May 2011, sm-ssc gained official status and was renamed StepMania 5.0. Stepmania 5.3 is planned to be available on 13th December 2019 but might be "delayed" up to 21st December 2019.
