Get the NewsletterBluenog Contributes Back, Makes Open Source Easy
Though it was only yesterday that Bluenog (news, site) announced the newest iteration of their integrated collaborative environment, better known as Bluenog ICE, the company is already back with more exciting news. Good Samaritans that they are, Bluenog plans to contribute back the enhancements it made to various open source projects during the development phase of Bluenog ICE 4.5.
Simply put, Bluenog ICE is a mash-up of an open source content management system, portal and business intelligence tools. The juiciest part of 4.5 is arguably the inclusion of wikis, thanks to the JSPWiki Open Source Project. Accordingly, initial contributions will center on JSPWiki, which also adds support for page level permissions. Bedework, the open source system responsible for ICE 4.5’s calendaring application, will reportedly also get some early play.
"Our contributions will make it easier for the open source community to use projects such as JetSpeed, Apache, Eclipse and JSPWiki and leverage the expertise and production-ready enhancements Bluenog has developed,” Said Suresh Kuppusamy, CEO and co-founder, Bluenog. “This will help shorten development lifecycles and improve the quality and reliability of applications based on these projects."
No complaints here; although, considering the fact that Bluenog ICE won’t be released to the general public until June 30th, tidbits like this probably only feed the fervor of all you hardcore fans. Sorry about that.
The best we can do for now is suggest you wipe the drool off your lip and follow the latest Bluenog news here.

Hi Chelsi,
Not quite drooling yet, but it would definitely be a good thing to see a company like Bluenog contribute back to Apache Jetspeed 2.2 as well as Hippo CMS 7 you wrote about earlier
http://www.cmswire.com/cms/web-cms/bluenog-content-platform-gains-fame-sticks-with-hippo-004494.php
We see that what used to be traditional 'closed' enterprise environments often have difficulty getting code past the legal departments back to the community. The aggregators / SIs / vendors have a role to play here, especially in the Apache licensed projects

End-users should be aware that BlueNog is violating the Apache license under which the code they use is distributed. See this post for more details: http://www.contenthere.net/2009/07/apache-software-license-hippo-and-bluenog.html
Because of this, anyone deploying BlueNog's software will be out of compliance with the Apache license and running essentially unlicensed software. I would strongly suggest that anyone looking at deploying BlueNog in a commercial context wait until these issues are resolved before proceeding.
This kind of behavior not only violates licenses and is illegal, but it also contravenes the spirit of open source. Best to just stay away from anyone doing this sort of thing.
Chris.
@Chris Thanks for the comments. Seth's article is credible and important. This issue is on our radar and we are discussing with Hippo and looking to expand the conversation with Bluenog.
We'll have more on this soon.
