LyX is popular among technical authors andscientists for its advanced mathematical modes,though it is increasingly used by non-mathematically-oriented scholars as well[1][2] for itsbibliographic database integration[3] and ability tomanage multiple files.[3] LyX has also becomepopular among self-publishers.[4][5]
LyX is available for various operating systems,including Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, UNIX, OS/2and Haiku. LyX can be redistributed and modified under the terms of the GNU General PublicLicense and is thus free software.

Shortly after the initial release, Lyrix was renamed to LyX due to a name-clash with a wordprocessor produced by the company Santa Cruz Operation.[9] The name LyX was chosen becauseof the file-suffix '.lyx' for Lyrix files.[10]
