What is the Community Source initiative?

VMware is sharing control of its market leading ESX platform by empowering partners to access the source. Source access may be used by partners to make shared source contributions to the ESX or used to build interoperable, ‘black box’ functionality, i.e., partner proprietary software that interoperates with ESX source code. Partners will be able to use the source access to build differentiated, proprietary solutions or contribute code that provides greater interoperability or deeper integration between their products and VMware ESX.
