Microsoft co-operation working well: Samba author | |
|
||
| Time: 00:29 EST/05:29 GMT | News Source: ZDNet Australia | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||
|
Co-operation between Microsoft and the developers of the open source Samba protocol is going much better since a landmark settlement late last year, according to the software's original developer. In December, Microsoft agreed to make documentation relating to its workgroup server products available to the Samba team under a non-disclosure agreement. The non-disclosure agreement was brokered on behalf of Samba by the Protocol Freedom Information Foundation (PFIF), an organisation that seeks to facilitate the exchange of free and open source software information. PFIF, which paid a one-off fee of 10,000 euros for the documentation, is part of the Software Freedom Law Center. | ||
