“IBM today announced it is making available commercial licenses
for its Linux-based mobile middleware BlueDrekar on alphaWorks,
IBM’s online resource for emerging technology.”
“BlueDrekar is IBM’s first Linux-based middleware based on
the Bluetooth specification for connecting devices wirelessly. IBM
made BlueDrekar available for free, 90-day trial use on its
alphaWorks site in July. The large number of subsequent downloads
and license requests led IBM to quickly respond by offering the
technology for licensing to corporate and ISV developers.“
“Allowing developers to create applications on the popular Linux
platform will increase the number of Bluetooth applications,” said
Daniel Jue, manager of alphaWorks. “We wish to make Bluetooth more
pervasive.”
