Covalent's Version of Apache 2.0 To Drop Monday

kilaasi points out this CNET story about the planned release on Monday of Apache 2.0, "or at least the version that has proprietary extensions. Covalent sells the core of Apache and its own extensions which make it easier to adapt for specific areas and simpler to administer. Covalent is confident that the next generation Apache is mature and is ready for prime time. Covalent employs some of the core members of the Apache-development-team." XRayX adds a link to Covalent's press release, writing: "It's not clear when the Open Source Edition (or whatever) will come out and I didn't find anything at the official Apache Site." Update: 11/10 16:37 GMT by T : Note that the product name is Covalent Enterprise Ready Server; though it's based on Apache software, this is not Apache 2.0 per se. Thanks to Sascha Schumann of the ASF for the pointer.

    From the press release:
    SAN FRANCISCO -- November 12, 2001 -- In conjunction with the launch of Enterprise Ready Server, Covalent Technologies today announced a coalition of support for its new enterprise solution for the Apache Web server.

    Is this a little bit confusing, or what? I mean, I had a meeting on Monday the 12th... well... which I don't recall yet. :)
