Ximian Connector to be released under the GPL!

Novell has just announced that their Ximian Connector product will be released under the GPL. This gives Evolution, the Linux/Unix groupware suite compatibility with Exchange 2000/2003 servers including full mail, addressbook, calendar support (screenshots).

Binary packages will be available from the 14th May 2004 onwards, however the source package is already available (in fact it's already been updated since yesterday), which means eventually it will make it's way into distributions like Debian, etc, that manage non-RPM source packages.

This was also my first slashdot post too :)

Update, Jeff has already ITP'd and packaged the connector for Debian, initial deb is available here
