There are a few OSS projects that, IMHO, are becoming "important" technologies in the mail/virus/spam world.
Of particular note in my small little world is SpamAssassin. Huge following, great reputation, integration everywhere I look.
Apparently, its popular enuf that its being incubated at the Apache Software Foundation for eventual/possible inclusion as a top-level Apache Project:
cref:
<http://www.spamassassin.org/index.html>
SpamAssassin lives at http://spamassassin.org/ or in CPAN, and is
distributed under Perl's Artistic
license. ('SpamAssassin' is a trademark of Network Associates, Inc.) This is changing, however. SpamAssassin is in the process of becoming
an Apache Software Foundation
top-level project. As a result, our license will be changing with
SpamAssassin 2.70; from that
version on we will be using the Apache Software License. We are
currently undergoing incubation at the
ASF. In the meantime, the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the
ASF.
and,
<http://incubator.apache.org/>CLAMAV is quickly becoming a "next" key technology ... everywhere I look I read sysadmins' tales of CLAMAV integration/inclusion in their environments.
would it be of interest/value to the community, and probably most importantly to Thomas Kojm, & the rest of the team, to seek such similar integration/promotion via the Apache project?
i'm certain that there are license issues (GPL vs BSD vs Apache vs etc, etc), but have no sense as to whether they'd be "deal breakers" ...
any thoughts/comments/ideas?
just thinkin' ...
