HP Contributes Source Code to Open Source Community to Advance Adoption of Linux

Continuing its efforts to advance customer adoption of Linux, HP today announced the contribution of its Tru64 UNIX Advanced File System (AdvFS) source code to the open source community.

The AdvFS source code includes capabilities that increase uptime, enhance security and help ensure maximum performance of Linux file systems. HP will contribute the code as a reference implementation of an enterprise Linux file system under the terms of General Public License Version 2 for compatibility with the Linux kernel, as well as provide design documentation, test suites and engineering resources.

We need to continue the innovation of the Open Source community, the more choice the more opportunities for vendors (in terms of solutions and markets), as well as the more choice for the end user which has to be a good thing for the industry and the business sponsors.
