“Corel and Inprise will collaborate on development of Linux
products, including Corel’s office applications and Inprise’s
application development tools, the chief executives from both
companies announced today. The accord between the companies
also calls for joint marketing and distribution efforts, the
officials said.”
“The key thing about Linux is that it’s all about freedom,” said
Michael Cowpland, Corel’s president and CEO, during his keynote
address at Comdex Miami ’99 this afternoon. “The time to get into
Linux is now…”
“Linux, the popular open-source operating system, lacks RAD
tools, so Inprise’s efforts will help fill a gap and give
developers much needed tools, Cowpland said.”
