Changes To Zimbra's Open Source Policy

The Zimbra email and collaboration suitewill change its open source policy. This post from theZeta Alliance notes the changes for Zimbra 9. "John E. explainedthat Zimbra 9 introduces a change to Synacor's open source policy forZimbra. Starting with Zimbra 9, a binary version of Zimbra 9 will no longerbe released to the community and will instead only be made available toZimbra Network Edition customers. There are currently no plans to releasethe source code for Zimbra 9 to the community. Zimbra 8.8.15 will remainopen source for the community and continue to be supported for theremainder of its lifecycle through December, 31, 2024 (https://www.zimbra.com/support/support-... lifecycle/). Version 8.8.15 will also continue to receive patchesduring this time frame. John E. described this new model for Zimbra 9 as"open core" where the open source products on which Zimbra is built willcontinue to be freely available, but the Zimbra 9 product itself will notbe open source."
