virt-manager (Virtual Machine Manager)

virt-manager, formally known as Virtual Machine Manager, is a high-level desktop application for managing virtual machines through libvirt. It primarily targets KVM VMs but also supports Xen and LXC containers. The project was originally started by Red Hat developers and has since grown into a community-driven open-source project.

As an open-source software project distributed under the GNU General Public License (GPL), 'manufacturing' in the traditional sense does not apply; instead, its development is collaborative, involving contributors from around the globe. While Red Hat remains a primary sponsor and many core developers are Red Hat employees, the software is free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute.

The brand is synonymous with Linux virtualization and is a standard component in many enterprise-grade Linux distributions. Its ownership is effectively held by the open-source community, with trademark and maintenance oversight largely provided by Red Hat as part of their commitment to the virtualization stack in Linux environments.
