CA Moves with New Open-Source Licensing (eWeek)

[Posted May 25, 2004 by ris]

eWeek covers this week's open source announcements from Computer Associates. "Computer Associates International Inc. will use its annual CA World user conference in Las Vegas on Monday to make a slew of open-source announcements, including establishing a new open-source foundation that will support Plone, an out-of-the-box content management system built on the free Zope Application server; unveiling a new open- source license, and placing a version of Ingres, CA's flagship DBMS, under it."

I hope that rather than only changing Plone to a new license, they will dual-license it under both GPL and the new license. Or at least that the new license is GPL compatible.

From "Plone Foundation FAQs":Will Plone still be Open Source?
Absolutely. Plone will be issued under an OSI-approved license. The Foundation is working to build a guarantee of this nature in to the Foundation bylaws and in the contributor agreement."

Unfortunately OSI-approved does not imply GPL compatible... But let's hope, we'll know for sure very soon...
