“Novell, taking its place next to other daredevils like Sun,
Corel, and Netscape, plans to open up the sourcecode to select
portions of its cash cow — NetWare Directory Services, sources
said.”
“The Provo, Utah company, which recently announced it would
publish its own open-source license for its DigitalMe, NDS for
Linux client, and the management interface to its Internet Caching
System (ICS), is now opening up the source code for select portions
of one of its crown jewels, NetWare Directory Services (NDS),
said several sources at Comdex.”
“The model will not be similar to Sun’s community licensing
model, but it will make it easier for ISVs to develop to NDS on
certain platforms, the sources said.”
