About: YellowTAB

An Entity of Type: agent, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

yellowTAB was a German software firm that produced an operating system called "yellowTAB ZETA". While the operating system was based on BeOS 5.1.0, the company never publicly confirmed that it has the BeOS source code or what their licensing agreement with BeOS's owners PalmSource was. The company went insolvent and ceased trading in 2006. Later, David Schlesinger, directory of Open Source technologies at , which had meanwhile become the owner of the BeOS source code, stated that there had never been a license agreement covering yellowTAB's use of the source code and that ZETA was therefore an infringed copy.

  • YellowTAB es una empresa alemana de software que comercializaba una versión personalizada con diversas mejoras y aplicaciones extra de la última versión de BeOS desarrollada por Be, la versión 5.1 beta, de nombre código dan0. (cuya propiedad intelectual fue comprada por Palm, Inc. que la pasó a palmSource y es ahora de Access Co. ) fue la desarrolladora de BeOS hasta que decidió un cambio de rumbo en su estrategia de mercado y dejó el desarrollo del sistema operativo, momento en el cual yellowTab pagó una licencia a Be por poder continuar vendiendo versiones modificadas de BeOS en forma legal, aunque sin tener el código fuente del sistema. YellowTab continuó el desarrollo de su versión de BeOS, llamada posteriormente Zeta. Es el único proyecto comercial que se propone continuar en cierta forma el BeOS, se inició en el 2002. YellowTab acordó posteriormente con GoBE Software incluir su suite ofimática GoBE productive en Zeta, aunque luego GoBE negó esto y han tenido problemas legales. Este sistema goza de un excelente rendimiento para PC con hardware que otros sistemas operativos considerarían ya obsoleto y está optimizado, igual que el BeOS original, para vídeo, audio y diseño. Una de las principales ventajas de Zeta frente a otras distribuciones o clones del BeOS es la relativamente amplia cantidad de controladores que tiene, por tener los originales del BeOS más muchos otros desarrollados por yellowTab. Zeta también incluye soporte para USB 2.0 y aplicaciones variadas que no formaban parte del BeOS 5.1 beta en el que se basa. YellowTAB presentó suspensión de pagos en abril de 2006 y el sistema operativo Zeta pasó al control de la también alemana Magnussoft. (es)
  • yellowTAB was a German software firm that produced an operating system called "yellowTAB ZETA". While the operating system was based on BeOS 5.1.0, the company never publicly confirmed that it has the BeOS source code or what their licensing agreement with BeOS's owners PalmSource was.

Later, David Schlesinger, directory of Open Source technologies at , which had meanwhile become the owner of the BeOS source code, stated that there had never been a license agreement covering yellowTAB's use of the source code and that ZETA was therefore an infringed copy. The company's offices were in Mannheim, and its corporate motto was Assume The Power. Following their closure, the OS was taken over by magnussoft, who started selling it as "magnussoft ZETA". yellowTAB has come under some criticism from the BeOS userbase, who claim that the company did not give back what it took from the Haiku project and other open source BeOS projects. In many cases, open source programmers have recreated yellowTAB's extensions to BeOS, most notably their SVG graphics extensions to OpenTracker. However, yellowTAB's actions to date have not violated the BSD/MIT licences under which most open source BeOS projects exist. In March 2006, yellowTAB donated their "Intel Extreme" driver to one of the Haiku developers for integration into the Haiku source tree where further development was to take place. Both yellowTAB and Haiku developers were to collaborate on Intel Extreme Graphics driver development, but to date this code has not yet been committed to the repository. In April 2006, insolvency protection proceedings were filed for the company, although employees denied that it was actually filed by the company, suggesting potential malicious intent. However, the firm has transferred development and support of ZETA to a third-party, magnussoft. (en)

  • yellowTAB é uma empresa alemã, sediada em Mannheim, de software que produz um sistema operacional baseado no BeOS 4.51. Até hoje não confirmaram publicamente possuir o código fonte do BeOS ou qual é o seu acordo de licenciamento com os atuais donos do BeOS, a PalmSource, apesar disso, o acordo parece ter fundamentação legal, pelo menos na Alemanha. O nome do produto é yellowTAB Zeta. A yellowTAB sofreu críticas de alguns usuários BeOS que alegam que a empresa não retribui o que aproveita do projeto Haiku e outros projetos de código aberto para BeOS. Em muitos casos, programadores recriaram as extensões da yellowTAB para BeOS, como a extensão gráfica SVG para o OpenTracker. Essa recusa em disponibilizar o código fonte no entanto não viola as licenças BSD e MIT sob as quais a maioria dos projetos para BeOS licenciam seu código. Em abril de 2006, a empresa transferiu o desenvolvimento e suporte técnico do Zeta para uma outra empresa, a Magnussoft. (pt)
