RE: [school-discuss] Open sourcing of previously commercial software

[Chris Puttick <chris@centralmanclc.com>]

Should we be making positive noises regarding support and development for
the software if it's released OSI?

I know for sure some money could be sourced here to fund further
development, if the solution was good. Does anyone know much about it?

I don't know anything about this software other than what's listed in
this
article.  It _sounds_ as though the company making the software is
getting
rid of it.  But we all know that publishing the source code for an
application isn't the same as releasing it under an OSI-approved
license. 
We'll see.
