| The OpenH323 project aims to
create a full featured, interoperable, Open Source implementation of the ITU H.323 teleconferencing protocol that can be used by
personal developers and commercial users without charge. OpenH323 development is coordinated by an Australian company, Equivalence Pty Ltd, but is open to any interested
party. Commercial and private use of the OpenH323 code, including use in commercial
products and resale, is enouraged through use of the MPL (Mozilla Public license). |
"The aim is
to `commodotise the protocol'. By giving the stack away, maybe we can stop
everyone obsessing over how to format the bits on the wire, and get them writing
applications instead."
Craig Southeren, co-founder of OpenH323, 1998 |

then read on how to join the project, and what you will
need. A public CVS archive of all OpenH323 code is also
available
Here is a list of people and
companies who have contributed resources and web space to OpenH323 as well as those
working on associated projects. If can think of anyone who should be be listed here,
please contact us at [email protected]
We are compiling a list of H.323
clients and other H.323 applications. Please e-mail
us if you have any additions or changes.
A new page showing how to
configure the Quicknet GPL drivers has been added |
