AllPeers Goes Open Source

allpeers.gif
A great move from AllPeers, today released to open source the number one Peer to Peer Firefox extension. This will be big help for many other extension to profit from their experience and give them the possibility to experiment their generic resource framework, scalable data store and of course a full-fledged peer-to-peer network.
That’s why we’re proud to announce that we’ve opened up the source code for AllPeers to other software developers. We hope that this will encourage developers to join our community, help us to improve our code and create their own applications on top of our platform.

You can visit the AllPeers developer site for more documentation and guidelines for hacking AllPeers. But there is something a little complicated that not very usual in Open source projects, because AllPeers is now tri-licensed under the Mozilla Public License (MPL), GNU General Public License (GPL), and the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL). Which mean that anyone can view the source code, as well as modify and redistribute it (though with trademark restrictions).
