Zimbra Leverages Red Hat Exchange to Navigate License Issue

by RHX Team

Red Hat Exchange (RHX) has been working with its partners to extend the enterprise open source community by bringing more of our partners’ software into Fedora and EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux). Zimbra has long seen the value of making its software easily accessible by the large community of Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux users, so it recently leveraged RHX to help get useful community feedback on a license issue.

Earlier this month, Zimbra announced on its forums that in collaboration with Red Hat and the Fedora community, it made a change to the Yahoo! Public License (YPL) Version 1.0 in order to meet Fedora licensing requirements. Red Hat Exchange was an integral part in helping Zimbra advance this initiative.

Here’s the background: To be included in Fedora, software must either have a license certified by the Open Source Initiative (OSI) (http://www.opensource.org/licenses), or terms that meet the open source definition as outlined by the OSI (http://www.opensource.org/docs/osd). Zimbra is licensed under the YPL which has not yet been submitted for OSI approval. » Read more

Red Hat Exchange Adds Three New Partners

by RHX Partner Team

Today, Red Hat Exchange (RHX) is welcoming three new partners to the program: Colosa, Inc., Continuent Inc. and Likewise Software. Each of these partners provides applications which broaden the current scope of the RHX software categories. Colosa, Inc., developer of ProcessMaker, brings open source workflow and business process management, while Continuent offers a multi-master approach to database replication. And because today’s IT environments are heterogeneous, we’ve added Likewise, which enables the integration of Linux, UNIX and Mac systems into Microsoft’s Active Directory.

Approaching its one-year anniversary in May, Red Hat Exchange (RHX) has some exciting new updates. We’ve added two new partners already in 2008: Ingres and Hyperic. And, today, RHX will take on a new look with a refresh of the RHX website.

RHX launched last year with the goal of helping Red Hat’s customers engage with the open source ISV ecosystem. During the 11 months since we’ve been in the market, we’ve learned a lot about the best way to meet that goal. In some cases, we learned what didn’t work and made changes to the offering.
