Interesting,
I have already seen 2 unannounced changes to the way Zimbra does business since being bought by Yahoo.
1. Opensource license has now changed to a "Yahoo Public License" (YPL) - this tells me that they are quietly geering up for model change to how the software is going to be distributed and used in the future.
2. It appears Zimbra no longer use sourceforge for file hosting and more importantly manage the code in an open fashion using sourceforge SVN. It appears to be all taken in house.
These 2 quiet changes don't have a good opensource feeling and can only heighten suspicions mentioned in this thread.
I wonder what future unannounced changes maybe coming for the opensource community ? |
