The DSpace Digital Repository SystemThe DSpace Digital Repository SystemPosted Apr 8, 2005 19:02 UTC (Fri) by bronson (subscriber, #4806)Parent article: The DSpace Digital Repository System The Handle System, written in Java and available for download at no cost for research or experimental use... Wow. A pay-now solution for a problem that might appear when HTTP and URLs eventually become obsolete. I am so underwhelmed.

The DSpace Digital Repository System Posted Sep 29, 2005 11:17 UTC (Thu) by pkolloch (subscriber, #21709) [Link] Well, I have to agree. In addition, their handle system seems to provide simple functionality which might be easily replicated (or am I naive again? ;) ). So why aren't they doing it themselves to get a fully open source system? DSpace is available under the BSD open source license for research institutions to run as-is, or to modify and extend as needed. (from the dspace webpage) Does that mean that DSpace is only available under an open source license for research institutions? Well, that wouldn't be really effective, because they could then redistribute it more freely... Or?
