That's right, codeBeamer MR is not open source. More precisely: parts of the source code are actually open, including the wiki plugins and the remote clients, for instance. The core source is closed, because the same core is also used in our commercial offerings, and our commercial license doesn't (currently) allow publishing the complete code. We have quite some large customers from the defense space that would not be happy if we opened everything ;) We are currently in the midst of rethinking our licensing scheme in general, to make things more liberal or to set up some kind of a dual license. > I think a lot of people wonder now, how does this compare to existing > solutions; from your announcement I thought it's something like > Gitosis/Gitolite, but in fact it seems more similar to Gitorious or > GitHub (if it was publicly available, of course); perhaps it would be > good idea to present comparison to these on the project homepage. Good point. More on this later. --- Intland
