Helix Server Source Released
Rob Lanphier writes "RealNetworks just released the Helix DNA Server source code, the main engine powering the RealNetworks' Helix Universal Server (nee RealServer). Additionally,
the RealNetworks' Public Source License (RPSL) just became approved as an Open
Source Initiative (OSI) certified license. Speaking of which, the Helix DNA Server is available under RPSL (which
wasn't originally our stated intention). Ask questions via IRC during our live webcast at 11am PST (19:00 GMT) or just read the press release."
Now I can, umm yeah, look at the source code for my helix server and, if I feel like it, make a monumental waste of time debugging it myself. Wow, that's great. I'm totally not being sarcastic.
Open source is overrated. When it comes to software, free as in beer is about 100x more important to the average consumer than free as in source code.
Repeal the DMCA!
Gee, I don't know who to listen to here, the guy with "Acidic Diarrhea" for a nick, or the guy with http://www.analse.cx/ for his homepage...
