Microsoft has announced the first Windows CE shared source program to allow commercial distribution of modified source code.
Microsoft said the latest addition to its shared source initiative, the Windows CE Shared Source Premium Licensing Program (CEP), was now available to companies bringing Windows CE-based devices and solutions to market. CEP is the first Windows CE program under the Shared Source Initiative to allow original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), silicon vendors and systems integrators full access to Windows CE source code. All licensees will be able to modify the code, and OEMs now can commercially distribute those modifications in Windows CE-based devices.
Companies such as ARM, BSQUARE, Hitachi, Mitsubishi, MIPS Technologies and Samsung had already joined the program and are developing innovative and differentiated embedded products, Microsoft said. Companies such as Hitachi had already begun shipping devices based on Windows CE with modifications under the CEP.
