Open Group Releases DCE 1.2.2 as Free Software

Posted by michael on from the run-with-the-big-boys dept.

lkcl writes "The Open Group announced 12th January 2005 that they are releasing DCE/RPC 1.2.2 as a Free Software Project - under the LGPL. This is a major coup for Free Software: the Distributed Computing Environment is known to be involved in some major projects. There is a mirror at opendce.hands.com which runs rsync, ftp, and there is also a dce122.tar.bz2.torrent bittorrent running as well."

    from the borg one morn
    with keyboards in my ears,

    *ba ba ba baa baa*
