OpenSSO will be no more! Or will it !?

Today I ran into a blogpost about one of the truly amazing open source products of the company formerly known as Sun Microsystems.

It seems as if Oracle is starting with a tactic also known as salami tactics with some of the products coming from the Sun stables. One of the products being swallowed, chewed and (partially) spit out is OpenSSO.

Fortunately all seems not lost. A company called ForgeRock is taking over the legacy left by Sun Microsystems.
The productname OpenSSO is rebranded to OpenAM to prevent legal lawsuits with Oracle…
Lets hope that ForgeRock can continue the great work performed on OpenSSO (or should we now call it OpenAM ?)

Have a look at the following blogpost for more elaboration about this topic
