We wanted to remove that restriction,” said Martin Woodward, senior software developer at Teamprise, in a statement released by the company this week. “Since CodePlex is based on the popular Visual Studio Team Foundation Server, we decided to provide developers of this open source community access to the same tools we offer to the enterprise.”“Developers can now use Teamprise to access CodePlex directly from the Eclipse IDE or from their Linux and Apple Macintosh computers,” said James Newkirk, product unit manager for CodePlex, in a statement released by Teamprise. “I am excited to see where the community takes this and what new projects will develop as a result.”CodePlex users who want a complimentary license for Teamprise can access the Teamprise Web site. These users will be able to access features provided by the 2.1 release of Teamprise. Technology Industry
