| Summary | This article clarifies the commercials around Orbacus. Since it is a source available ORB, some users incorrectly believe this means it is an Open Source or Free ORB. |
|---|---|
| Environment | Orbacus 4.x All Supported Operating Systems |
| Question/Problem Description | Is Orbacus an Open Source product? Is Orbacus available for free? |
| Clarifying Information | |
| Error Message | |
| Defect/Enhancement Number | |
| Cause | Orbacus has always been a source available ORB, which is very useful in situations where customers seek to embed Orbacus in their product, making it very flexible. Orbacus is available under a commercial license and is not availble under any of the 'free' Open Source licenses such as Apache, LGPL or FreeBSD. |
| Resolution | Orbacus is for end-user organizations and ISVs seeking to build distributed or integrated systems using a full-featured CORBA-compliant ORB, build a cost effective CORBA system, have access to source code for better control and partner with the leading CORBA vendor who can provide a wealth of experience building mission critical CORBA systems.
