Melodeo Opens Up Its Mobile DRM

Melodeo, the mobile music and podcasting provider, has open-sourced its mobile DRM…Melodeo is offering the technology through a new Website, PachyDRM.org. Company CEO Jim Billmaier says Melodeo is offering the DRM as an alternative to proprietary solutions such as those offered by Microsoft and Apple, as well as the stalled Open Mobile Alliance DRM.
The PachyDRM specification is available free of charge, while the source code is available under a license royalty of 5 cents per device (does that really make it open-source then? I don’t know the exact definition…perhaps others can help explain).
