The Symbian Foundation has announced the release of the platform microkernel (EKA2) and supporting development kit under the Eclipse Public License (EPL). "To enable the community to fully utilise the open source kernel, Symbian is providing a complete development kit, free of charge, including ARM's high performance RVCT compiler toolchain. The provision of the kit demonstrates Symbian's commitment to lowering access barriers to encourage the wider development community - such as research institutions, enthusiast groups and individual developers - to get creative with the code."
