Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: Joint press release "Object REXX goes Open!"


From: madodelDESPAM at ptdprolog.net 

From http://www.rexxla.org

 "After several months of negotiations between RexxLA and IBM, IBM has
agreed to further their commitment to Open Source, by releasing Object
REXX to the Open Source community. As a result, RexxLA will continue to
manage Object REXX as an Open Source project, and IBM will be withdrawing
Object REXX  from their product range.

The joint press release on Open Object Rexx was made on November 29th,
2004."  http://www.rexxla.org/Newsletter/oorexx-pr.html  and
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/awdtools/obj-rexx/opensource.html

"IBM and the Rexx Language Association (RexxLA) today announced that IBM
is contributing source code of the Object REXX Interpreter Edition to the
RexxLA. The source code for Object REXX for Microsoft  Windows , AIX ,
Linux , and SUN Solaris  will henceforth be available from RexxLA
(http://www.rexxla.org) under Common Public License (CPL) V1.0."

Note no mention of OS/2.  No idea if this is deliberate or just forgotten.
