Real Quietly Releases More Code as Open Source

Posted by timothy on from the giood-citizenship dept.

AlexJeff writes "Yesterday Real open sourced the server source code of its Network Optimized FileSystem (Asynchronous FileSystem). Actually it "dual-licensed" it under its open source (RPSL) and commercial licenses. According to a posting on the Helix Community, the Asynchronous FileSystem provides asynchronous access to the OS file-system and is mainly used to help resolve timing issues with Network File System(NFS). This functionality provides improvement capacity in 'Helix DNA-powered servers, especially on frameworks that use Network File System.'"
