Will Real feast where Apple failed? | |

As RealNetworks turns to open source in its battle for the streaming media market, it faces a foe as formidable as Microsoft: history. Many have compared RealNetworks and its establishment last week of the Helix open-source initiative to Netscape Communications, which in 1998 was the first significant software company to put its proprietary product into open-source development, only to languish.

In April 1999, a month after it established the Darwin open-source organization that would give birth to its OS X operating system, Apple revealed the source code to parts of the QuickTime streaming format and invited developers and companies to use and disseminate it. | ||
