The Apache Foundation, an open-source development group, on Thursday pulled its support of the proposed antispam standard Sender ID, saying Microsoft's license requirements are too strict.
The move by the group responsible for the popular Apache Web server comes as other open-source developers also voiced reservations about Microsoft's attempts to apply stringent license requirements to its contribution to the spam-fighting technology. "We believe that the current license is generally incompatible with open source, contrary to the practice of open Internet standards, and specifically incompatible with Apache License 2.0," the group wrote Thursday in its letter to the technical committee working on the technology.
