[email] [print]  Gobe Productive is NOT Open-Source.

From the close minded department...

I just spotted this over at OSNews. Difficulties (financial) have prevented FreeRadicalSoftware of GPL'ing GobeProductive.

Information is still scarse, the info was mailed to the Gobe user mailing list.

"What has happended to the Open sourcing of the code ??

At this time, Free Radical has been unable to raise the money necessary to license the code from Gobe Software Inc. Free Radical is effectively a nonstarter at this point."


Sad news indeed.. we'll try to post more information as it becomes available.

Update: In the light of this recent development, beunited.org is in the process of launching a "Gobe Productive for BeOS Donation Drive". They have been in contact with Gobe, asking them for access to the BeOS source code. So let yourself be heard, agree or not with this effort, by going to the beunited.org site. This one's important folks, so speak out your opinion.
