Padlock Licenses Find a Home - Introducing Padlock License Vault

[Jason Nichols]

It's with great excitement that I announce Padlock's first open source
initiative - Padlock License Vault.

The short story: Padlock's License Vault is a new technology for the
storage and archival of both Padlock keys and licenses. It's based on
the venerable Apache CouchDB (http://couchdb.apache.org). For those
unfamiliar with CouchDB, it's an Erlang based document server that
utilizes JSON over HTTP for all communications.

This is a very exciting project, as it will allow for a slew of
applications that will help integrate Padlock throughout your business
infrastructure.

The long story can be found on the new License Vault page:
htp://www.javalicensemanager.com/vault

It's an LGPL licensed Maven project stored at GitHub:
http://github.com/padlockian/Padlock-Vault-Library

Documentation is sparse (ok, non-existent) at this point - but will be
added over the next week.

I hope you will become active in its development, many of you have
proven yourselves early adopters and I would expect no less in this
case =)

Happy licensing,
Jason Nichols
