"MM" Software Goes Open-Source


The "MM" series of digital mode software has been released to open-source development by its author, JE3HHT. According to the AMSAT News Service, this includes MMTTY, MMVARI and MMSSTV. A new MM-Open organization has been started up to encourage and facilitate further development. The LGPL license allows individuals and companies to use and integrate the "MM" programs as long as all improvements to the source code are made publicly available. A "master branch" for each application will be maintained by a group of "Committers" consisting of N4HY, KE5DTO, JA7UE and N5AC. For details, see <http://mm-open.org>.
