A step ahead for open source

Yesterday, while I was reading the news I came across two very interesting ones. Two OS kernels have switched and decided to show the world their interiors, and thus make knowledge available to every one (aka their released license has switched to an open source one ).

The first one was HTC’s kernel of the Hero device, which can be downloaded from HTC’s Developer Center. But the second one I find more interesting, it is Symbian’s kernel that was released, nine months ahaid of scedule, under the Eclipse Public License (EPL).

It looks like that no one wants to stay away from time’s trend, which hopefully will be de facto in the near feature, open source! Who’s coming next?
