When I talked to Red Hat at the end of September 2004, when the acquisition was announced, the company said the directory would be included in the next 6 to 12 months. So if they meet their schedule, expect it to be final by the end of September 2005. I don't know when the code will be released as open-source software or how long the test period before the final availability will last. http://news.com.com/Red+Hat+taps+Netscape+to+broaden+its+landscape/2100- 7344_3-5389920.html sts Stephen Shankland, reporter, CNET News.com 415-344-2406 stephen.shankland@xxxxxxxx 235 Second St., San Francisco CA 94105 -----Original Message----- From: fedora-test-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-test-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Stephen J.

If it is like other closed source acquisitions there is usually a year of cleanup to get out any non-licensable code that is in the base tree and rewriting those parts os that it can be used when it is released. -- Stephen J Smoogen.
