I love the smell of abandonware in the morning.

HP open-sources the Tru64 filesystem Posted Jun 23, 2008 18:28 UTC (Mon) by vmole (guest, #111) [Link] Sure, but better to make it available for scavenging/recycle than just throw it the trash.

Or perhaps you could simply view it as a research project which never went commercial. If this were code written by some poor grad student and actually was way less feature complete, would this perhaps be more easily blessed as noble and a great contribution to free software instead? Bright ideas are many, solid implementations are few and marketable ones even fewer. Instead of writing papers, HP "showed us the code" even if they never marketed it, is that really so sad? Are we that blessed with free code that we should sneer at them so easily? Thank you HP for your contribution, I believe that many will value it.
Thank you HP Posted Jun 23, 2008 19:08 UTC (Mon) by Felix_the_Mac (guest, #32242) [Link] I have no clue whether this is 'abandonware' ... but even if it is I am very happy to have them abandon it under the GPL. Thank you HP!
