Gobe Productive To Be GPLed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the get-yer-spell-check-on dept.

ParisTG writes "The Gobe Productive office suite is to be re-licensed under the GPL, according to an interview by OSNews. "FreeRadical has purchased the gobeProductive source code and plans to continue to develop the product under a GPL license."" The people who wrote Gobe, are also the folks who wrote ClarisWorks ? , if you remember back to that. I've used Gobe a few times before - great office suite.

  1. Sad - but the source lives on by ghazban · · Score: 4, Informative

    It's very noble of Gobe to release the source after the product's financial demise, rather than sell it on for a pittance. Hopefully the clean and bloat-free source will live on.

    See osnews for a comment by one of Gobe's developers Tom Hoke.
