PHP语言重新升温(2) IBM donated the Cloudscape source code to the Apache Software Foundation last year and the version of Cloudscape bundled with Zend Core for IBM will be the Apache version, known as Derby. IBM continues to produce commercial products with Cloudscape as well.
"IBM's move is going to attract more enterprise customers," says an ebullient Doron Gerstel, CEO of 68-employee Zend Technologies, an Israeli company. IBM's seal of approval on PHP will do for PHP what it did for Linux (news - web sites) eight years ago--make it a dominant open-source technology accepted by commercial business, Gerstel says.
Although IBM will offer Zend Core for IBM for free, the software's code itself will not be open source and will be subject to use restrictions because it will include drivers for IBM's DB2 commercial database system.
