The "MM" series of digital mode software has been
released to open-source development by its author, JE3HHT. According to the
AMSAT News Service, this includes MMTTY, MMVARI and MMSSTV. A new MM-Open
organization has been started up to encourage and facilitate further
development. The LGPL license allows individuals and companies to use and
integrate the "MM" programs as long as all improvements to the source
code are made publicly available. A "master branch" for each
application will be maintained by a group of "Committers" consisting
of N4HY, KE5DTO, JA7UE and N5AC. For details, see <
