OSVDB is an independent and open source database created by and for the security community. The goal of the project is to provide accurate, detailed, current, and unbiased technical information on security vulnerabilities. The project will promote greater, more open collaboration between companies and individuals, eliminate redundant works, and reduce expenses inherent with the development and maintenance of in-house vulnerability databases. This will be added to Security Resources 2004 Internet MiniGuide.

Database vendors are joining the open

Whether companies sell or provide their databases with fully available source code, through a new open source project, or with their very own open source license, there is definitely open source fever in the database business these days. Older, established database makers such as IBM, Sybase, and CA are releasing the code for what were previously proprietary products. But these players are coming late to the party thrown by MySQL, PostgreSQL, BerkelyDB maker Sleepycat, and Firebird. How much open source beer are these newcomers bringing to the database bash, or are they simply coming in and asking where the cups are?

- By Robin "Roblimo" Miller - Look at almost any IT news site, including this one, and it's easy to get the impression that MySQL and PostgreSQL are the only mature, fully usable Open Source databases out there. This is not true. Firebird is not only mature, fully usable, and Open Source, but claims an estimated one million installations worldwide. If you've never heard of Firebird, it's probably because you know it by its old, proprietary name: ...

A prediction that both IBM DB2 and Oracle databases would head toward open source in some way by the end of the year got a little more interesting as Big Blue announced a partnership with the Apache Software Foundation to release its Cloudscape Java-based database to the community, which is turning the database into an open source project called Derby.

CA Moves with New Open-Source Licensing

eWeek: CA Moves with New Open-Source Licensing for Content, Database Projects. This article has some dangerous flaws. Proprietary/open source dual-licensing can be done with the GPL; just look at MySQL. (I see the Plone Foundation themselves are fighting this bad reporting.) Also, Apache is not dual-licensed and IBM could have used it just as easily if it wasn't owned by the ASF, because the Apache License is so permissive. (Also, companies that create gratuitous new open source licenses are not on the Cluetrain, but at least it's not dangerous.)
