Foundations Technology: Open Source software

Serious students of the English language may question whether non-Lotus software can be properly labeled as Foundations technology. For example, the source code for MySQL is owned by a Swedish company, MySQL AB, which was acquired by Sun Microsystems on 26 February 2008, and the MySQL software that comes with Foundations is provided under the GNU General Public License. I'll leave those philosophical questions for another time when I have been more fully fortified with red wine.

For now, here is the list of the software packages that currently ship with Lotus Foundation Server:
  • Apache 2.2.2.0
  • Bind 9.3.2
  • Busybox 1.1.0
  • Cyrus IMAP 2.2.12
  • Cups 1.1.23
  • E2fsprogs 1.3.8 (ext2/ext3 Utilities)
  • Ext3 (version used in Kernel2.6.16.21)
  • IP Tables 1.3.5
  • Kernel 2.6.16.21
  • Lilo 22.7
  • MySQL 5.0.18
  • Netatalk 2.0.3
  • Openswan 2.4.4
  • NFS 2.13.3
  • Open LDAP 2.3.19
  • Perl 5.8.8
  • PHP 5.1.2
  • Postfix 2.2.9
  • ReiserFS 3.6.19
  • Rsync 2.6.6
  • Samba 3.0.22
  • Telnet 1.2
I'll look at some of these packages in more depth in future posts.
