| Access will contribute a mobile application platform to the open
| source community before year's end, it says. Its "Application
| Framework" for GTK+ aims to offer device developers specialized
| mechanisms for package installation, task-oriented application
| interoperation, and security policy definition and management.
| It will be released under the Mozilla Public License.

| OSDL CEO Stuart Cohen stated, "Access gets it. By opening its
| Application Framework, it will help to both increase the use of
| its own platform and the subsequent growth of mobile Linux."
|
| The Framework was developed as part of Access's Access Linux
| Platform (ALP). Another ALP component, a database filesystem for
| mobile devices, was also recently released to the open source community.

The above is an implementation of Vista vapourware (WinFS), which will be
made available outside its origins as well. Open Source is /fast/.
