Bruce Perens on Real's Open Source gambit (Register)

[Posted July 22, 2002 by cook]

The Register writes about recent license changes recently made by streaming media company Real Networks. "Real Networks is announcing plans to release some, but not all of its technology under an Open Source-friendly license within 90 days. Under pressure from Microsoft, and completely open formats, it's decided to meet the open source community halfway. The first batch of technology to be released under a new "community license" is expected to include RTSP/RTP/RTCP/SDP network playback, UDP support, local file playback, data type interfaces, file format interfaces and some AV code support."
