Talk:List of formerly proprietary software

message: For anyone interested in expanding this article, check out this Google search of slashdot.org for "source code released".  Note, however, that just because the source code is available doesn't necessarily mean the software is covered by a free or open source license.  Also, Slashdot has an unfortunate habit of printing erroneous stories, so be sure to check carefully. —Psychonaut 15:32, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
