phug writes "According to the NY Times, IBM is donating code that it estimates cost the company $10 million to develop. One collection of speech software for handling basic words for dates, time and locations, like cities and states, will go to the Apache Software Foundation. The company is also contributing speech-editing tools to a second open-source group, the Eclipse Foundation." There's not much information out there yet - e.g. no word on licenses etc. It is worth pointing out that the Eclipse Foundation was started by IBM.

SCO is dead! Now if the voice recognition softare contributed by IBM can go this, then this indeed is a noteworthy contribution. Perhaps Daryl could infuse their version of Unix act upon it ...
