VMware Provides Open-Source Virtualization Viewer
Posted by Michael Larabel on February 03, 2009
While VMware's virtualization platform has been popular with many Linux users, its entire virtualization infrastructure has been closed-source. This though may change to some extent. VMware has announced the release of View Open Client, which is an open-source program to view VMware-hosted virtualized desktops. The code to View Open Client is being made freely available in hopes of VMware's partners adapting the code to the needs of their clients. This code is being distributed under the LGPL 2.1 license.
This announcement was made on the VMware web-site. The code and more information on the open-source project now behind the VMware View Open Client can be found at Google Code.
