VMware is taking another step to try to maintain its market dominance.
VMware announced today that it is opening its virtual machine disk format
specification to allow other vendors to use it in their products.
Technically, VMware is not releasing the disk format under an open source
license -- or, really, any license. According to Dan Chu, VMware's senior
director of developer and ISV products, the company will release "language to
make sure folks are comfortable," but the company will not require developers
to accept any license terms in order to have access to the format. "We're
taking it even further; you don't even have to enter into a specific open
source license [to use the format]."
