This week brought us two very interesting Open Source announcements:

• Netscape Enterprise Server, which later morphed into the iPlanet Web Server during the Sun|Netscape Alliance then was renamed the SunONE Web Server and most recently renamed again to the JES Web Server has just been released under the BSD license
• Qt, the highly polished, well documented, modern GUI toolkit owned by Nokia will be available under the LGPL starting with version 4.5! It was previously only mainly available under the GPL and a commercial license. This is fantastic news for all commercial developers looking to create cross-platform applications without the need to buy a $4950 multi-platform license per developer.
