Sun Application Server 9.0 PE Open Sourced

farble1670 writes "Sun Microsystems has released their Application Server 9.0 PE platform as open source, under the code name Glassfish. Version 9.0, when complete, will be J2EE 5 compliant. Code is released under Sun's CDDL (common development and distribution license), the same license used to cover the Open Solaris, the open-source Solaris operating system. This is most likely a response to the popular open-source application server JBoss, which has cut into profits for Sun as well as other major application server vendors such as BEA and IBM."

Microsoft tightens Anti-Piracy policy!

[jakin45]

As of today, July 26 2005, visitors to the Microsoft Download Center and Windows Update will be required to participate in Windows Genuine Advantage to access all content. That means a user of Windows 2000/XP must provide a software product ID to prove your software is legally licenced before full access is allowed. The world-wide anti-piracy initiative of WGA started today helps to further combat software piracy.
