08/03/2004 05:47 PMIBM said it will donate its Cloudscape database software code, valued
at $85 million, as an open-source project, with the goal of spurring
Java application development and creating business opportunities for
its infrastructure software products.

08/05/2004 07:54 PMIBM's move to open-source its Java database "permits applications to
count on the functionality of a real database from the get-go," says a
member of the Apache Software Foundation.
Cloudscape goes Open Source
Cloudscape goes Open Source
08/03/2004 11:04 AMIBM is planning to
announce that they'll be donating the Java-based Cloudscape
database to the Apache foundation, to be released as open source.
Most business applications require some database functions
like storing and looking up price or customer information, whether in
a Web page or a laptop program. Cloudscape is intended for use as a
simple database that resides inside a software application instead of
as a full-fledged database program that runs on its own in corporate
data centers as Oracle, I.B.M.'s DB/2, and Microsoft's SQL or MySQL
do.
Placing software into the open source realm does not guarantee that it
will succeed in attracting programmers to maintain and improve the
code. Still, Java experts say that there is a need for a basic Java
database and that the Cloudscape code could prove to be popular. "It
is a nice, out-of-the-box database," said Greg Stein, chairman of the
Apache Foundation.
If you've played with Sun's J2EE reference
implementation, you've probably dinked around with Cloudscape for
a bit. It's a handy little SQL database built right in to the app.
Having a built-in SQL DB allows for some handy methods of data storage
fo rsmall apps, and obviates the need for a set of database
installation instructions.

IBM Frees Cloudscape Into The Open

IBM Frees Cloudscape Into The Open
Source Skies...
08/03/2004 01:43 AMThere are plenty of sites that cover various "open source" news
stories that we usually avoid around here, but it's worth noting that
IBM has decided to
release the
source code for the Cloudscape Java database technology that they
own. Obviously there are already some very popular open source
databases out there, but the fact that IBM is donating a fairly large
product into the open source world shows that they seem to understand
at least some of the benefits of open source, while other companies
still continue to insist there's something evil about open source
technologies. Recognizing that (a) the product isn't central to their
strategy and (b) more active development around it may
drive more
demand for their own Websphere offering, it makes perfect sense to
open source Cloudscape (now to be known as Derby). It would be nice
if more companies began to realize that not everything they've worked
on needs to be sold. If it can be used as a form of a promotion that
drives more sales for other products, that can often be a very
intelligent strategy.

Microsoft releases source code to open

05/05/2004 04:06 AMAbout a month ago, Microsoft posted some of its source code to
SourceForge. SourceForge is a, if not the, major distribution point
for open source software. Microsoft's code was put there under the
terms of the Common Public License, which allows modification,
addition, redistribution - in short, it allows most of the rights and
privileges that we associate with open source software.

02/13/2004 04:00 PMAs a reminder to our readers, we are repeating the same advice we
published in 2000, the last time Microsoft's source code was
compromised. Don't look at it or you could contaminate yourself
legally: The Wall Street Journal reported today [October 27, 2000 --
Ed.] that Microsoft and the FBI are investigating an intrusion in
which unknown attackers had access to Microsoft source code for three
months. Although nothing purporting to be Microsoft source code copied
in the intrusion has surfaced yet, any such code poses a legal risk to
people who read it and to any free software project that accepts
contributions from those people.

Microsoft Should Open Source the Leaked Source: From the
"never-gonna-happen" department, this guy says that Microsoft should
just open-source the code that was leaked last week. He makes a good case,
but there's no chance Bill would actually go for it.
Why not make lemonade out of lemons by doing the
unthinkable: Redistribute the complete NT4 and Windows 2000 code base
via either a fully OSS-certified or quasi-open-source license on the
MSDN web site?
Sound crazy? Maybe. But think about the positive implications of a
fully Microsoft-sanctioned complete release of this
code...

Software in a

touch with me after reading my review of
Compuwar

Java-based Lucene search engine, as a benchmark to explore that
product's debugging and source-code analysis features. Agitar's
development lead, Kent Mitchell, picked up on the idea. He fed
Lucene's Java sources into his test automation tool,
Agitator, and
used Lucene to demonstrate his product.

Open source programmer blesses "ripoff"

07/13/2004 04:58 AMJaleco, a Gameboy Advance cartridge vendor, released a vintage
game-pack that included a public-domain NES emulator written by Loopy.
They didn't credit him in the release, and a lot of hackers and gamers
were affronted on Loopy's behalf, but Loopy doesn't care. As Waxy
says,
"his message embodies the spirit of the open-source movement":
Let someone take an idea, do something cool with it, and not have to
hesitate because of legal nitpickings. If a company can take something
that I made, and turn it into a product that other people enjoy, I'm
all the happier for it. Why should I care if someone else profits off
of something I made? It's already free.
Demanding that someone pay homage to my work is just ego-stroking, and
I'm not into that. Sure, as a courtesy it would have been nice for
Jaleco to tell me "hey, thanks for the source", and they didn't, but
I'm not going to lose sleep over it, because I didn't write PocketNES
so people would pat me on the back.
I wrote it so people could have fun playing old games. And that's
exactly what's happening here. Mission accomplished.
I'm with him. After all, this guy used the holes in copyright to make
an emulator that relied on Nintendo's (and its suppliers') IP.
