Apple Plans To Release Rendezvous As Open Source

Snuffub writes "According to MacCentral, Apple announced during an interview today that they would be releasing Rendezvous, their implementation of the zeroconf standard, under an open source license. I can't see this as being anything but great news for everyone involved -- the community gets a mature implementation of an emerging technology, and Apple benefits as more devices are created to support Rendezvous. For everyone interested, you'll be able to download the source from Apple's site in a couple weeks." uglyhead69 adds: "The article is light on details and doesn't mention what license will be used, but it's probably safe to assume that it's the APSL."

Please show me a TOL PC for $500 bucks. If you can put it together for me, with a 17inch minimum monitor (preferably a 15inch LCD) I will buy it from you.

(BTW, the English plural of "virus" is "viruses"; the Latin plural would be one of "viri" (pronounced "vee-ree"), "virorum", "viris", or "viros", depending on case.)

<pedantic>
Actually "viri" is the nominative plural of "vir" (man), not "virus". The only form of "virus" that is spelled "viri" is actually the genitive singular.
