The [1]Zimbra email and collaboration suite will change its open source policy. This [2]post from the Zeta Alliance notes the changes for Zimbra 9. " John E. explained that Zimbra 9 introduces a change to Synacor's open source policy for Zimbra. Starting with Zimbra 9, a binary version of Zimbra 9 will no longer be released to the community and will instead only be made available to Zimbra Network Edition customers. There are currently no plans to release the source code for Zimbra 9 to the community. Zimbra 8.8.15 will remain open source for the community and continue to be supported for the remainder of its lifecycle through December, 31, 2024 ( [3]https://www.zimbra.com/support/support- ... lifecycle/ ). Version 8.8.15 will also continue to receive patches during this time frame. John E. described this new model for Zimbra 9 as "open core" where the open source products on which Zimbra is built will continue to be freely available, but the Zimbra 9 product itself will not be open source.
