Microsoft Gives $100,000 to Apache
Redmond (WA) - Microsoft has donated $100,000 to the Apache Software Foundation. The annual investment puts the company on equal footing as Yahoo and Google in terms of Apache monetary support and was praised by foundation officials. Microsoft also released several communications protocols under their open source initiative which promises that developers will never be sued for using the code.
In the web server arena, Microsoft has been trying to catch up to the free Apache program for years. Apache runs approximately 49.12% of all web servers while Microsoft’s IIS platform runs 35.39%.
