Covalent's Version of Apache 2.0 To Drop Monday

Posted by timothy on from the this-will-get-confusing dept.

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.

  1. next generation Apache ready for prime time?? by sydneyfong · · Score: 0, Troll

    Covalent is confident that the next generation Apache is mature and is ready for prime time.

    And i thought it was already mature enough, otherwise why did it become the most popular web server?

    btw, what is new with apache 2.0? (i am too lazy to read the docs ;-)

    I, a master cracker, has broken in to linus torvolds linux development network and i have SHOCKING news!

    I came across kernel 2.9.99, the beta version of L3!!! L3 is not GPL'ed but LBL'ed which stands for Linus'es borg licence! L3 will contain the following features.

    • Costs $10,000
    • Very unstable
    • 1,398,484 known bugs that won't be fixed
    • Penguin DNA
    • 1000 propreity apps costing a further $23,300!
    • LinSPY
    • Anti Destructi!
    • AND ABSOLUTLEY NO WARRENTY!

    Thats NOT ALL! It's will be illegal to copy it, current linux users must upgrade or have their computers destroyed!

    Rob, Linuses little helper has wrote WinVi, MacVi OS/2Vi BeVi and solarVI! these 'VI's are viruses that are Undectectable and Unstoppable and will FORCE L3 on to everyones machine!

    He has passed a special "LAW" to make this legal, and will be realesing evil L3 either when its June 2004 or when every penguin on the planet is massacered!

    And if we take the $33,300 per copy cost and mutliply that by about 500,000,000 estimated computers in the world linus will make

    $16,650,000,000,000

    Making him a multi trillionare! and about 390 times richer than B.Gate$ ! Don't let this happen, boycott linux today!

    Buy Windows XP for non evil computing!

    At that price, you might as well buy Zeus, which is based on an even faster event-driven architecture.
