BridgePoint becomes fully open source
In November 2014, One Fact announced that all of BridgePoint was available as open-source software. The source code and documentation were made accessible through the xtuml GitHub organization. The Editor, Verifier, and model compilers were released under the Apache 2.0 license.
The announcement invited users to download and use the tool, fork the repositories, and follow development. The historical download destination cited at the time was xtuml.org/download; availability and current download instructions should be checked at that site.
BridgePoint engineering forms One Fact
The engineering team responsible for BridgePoint spun out from Mentor Graphics to form One Fact Inc. Mentor Graphics subcontracted BridgePoint support to One Fact to provide continuity for existing customers. The new company offered support, training, consulting, and engineering services around open-source BridgePoint, xtUML, and model-driven development.
The original announcement also appeared in Japanese and Swedish. Its Japanese announcement described the same open-source release and company formation:
BridgePoint 100% オープンソース化
すべてのBridgePointがオープンソース・ソフトウェアとなりました。ソースコードおよびドキュメントは github.com/xtuml からアクセスできます。エディタ、ベリファイアおよびモデル・コンパイラは Apache 2.0 ライセンスで公開されました。
BridgePoint 技術陣は One Fact Inc へ
BridgePointを支えてきた技術チームは、Mentor Graphicsから独立してOne Fact Incを設立しました。One Factは、オープンソースのBridgePoint、xtUML、モデル駆動開発に関するサポート、トレーニング、コンサルティングおよびサービスを提供します。
