Hi All
I was part of the Lycoris Beta testing team back then (that brings back memories). They did release under NDA a couple of things they were playing with to do with SME Server but as they then got brought out themselves by Mandriva (was formally known as Mandrake Linux) it never went anywhere. I used to have copies of the old code lying around but got rid of it a few years ago as it was taking up space on my shelf.

(Not) I don't know what Lycoris purchased, but it wasn't e-smith or anything connected with Mitel. Lycoris never owned smeserver software. I think they bought a pup, from a bootlegger. Has anyone actually owned the community version of e-smith/SME? When Mitel bought e-smith, I bet they were mainly buying the people, intangibles, and marketing engine of e-smith. Most all of the code was/is GPL. In any event, the Lycoris deal was a bad joke. They didn't ever really DO anything other than make some press releases. I don't believe Lycoris actually paid any money to RSI, but perhaps some ownership was exchanged in a potential commercial effort (I don't know this for sure, just guessing). Greg
