iCommune Retools Itself as Standalone Open Source App

Posted by pudge on from the mmmmmm-p3s dept.

Doctor Beavis writes "As noted previously, Apple ordered developer James Speth to return his iTunes software developer kit and to stop distributing the iCommune plug-in for iTunes. Today, CNET has a story with further details and developments. Speth said that he will honor Apple's request to stop distributing his software, but he will build the same features into a standalone application. The next version of iCommune will work with iTunes and potentially other digital music players and will use Rendezvous, Apple's implementation of a protocol for automatic discovery of network-connected devices. Speth also said that the new version will be Open Source under the GPL."

    The funny thing is: I'm glad to know it's /., and not me--I was worried my company had noticed how much bandwidth is wasted on Slashdot, and was capping it!

    Is Slashdot suddenly running unpatched SQL Servers?

    Hello,

    I am The Bungi, son of Zig, Duke of Bawls and Earl of Hot Gritti.

    It is very much nice to meeting you.

    Now we may gain the power to unite again under one crown, as in the days of old.

    Indeed, sage. The rallying cry of "All Your Base Are Belong To Us!" is already being heard nigh in the mountains to the east and the server room to the north. We await the Second Coming of Mitnick the Great to aid us in fighting the evil Hillary, Duchess Of Rosen. Dark times ahead I see, I do.

    I'm usually more of an apostrophe nazi than a spelling nazi, but I was certainly lax here.

    But anyway, it's 'controversy'.
