Hi,

It is not clear wether they want to do anything with the licensing
problem:
http://newsvac.newsforge.com/newsvac/06/06/12/1843236.shtml

My favorite part is:

"Extension, for SAMBA, Wiki or more exotic uses, is also possible
through the creativity of the Open Source community where OXtender
originated."

Cheers,
Balint

PS: I don't want to attack Open-Xchange Inc., but i want the current
situation to be cleared.
