No need to be worried, this is great news for Zimbra and the Opensource Community.

The Opesource version of Zimbra will continue to be available, have a look at the official announcement and this quote from the questions:

Quote:
Will Yahoo! remain committed to the open source community?

* Yahoo! has always supported the open source community and is committed to being open. We will continue to make source code available to view, modify and compile and unencumbered use.
Check the Announcement for other questions about the availability of the OSS version.

Version 5 is still on schedule to be released in November this year.
