TIBCO Contributes General Interface to the Open Source Community

PALO ALTO, CA, Apr 07 (MARKET WIRE) --
TIBCO Software Inc. (NASDAQ: TIBX) announced it has completed the Dojo
approval process to donate TIBCO General Interface(TM) source code to the
Dojo Foundation. TIBCO and the Dojo Foundation have established the
General Interface project to give developers access to the award-winning
General Interface(TM) source code and promote the rapid creation of
reliable Ajax applications, components and portlets with the look and
feel of desktop graphical user interface applications.

"General Interface is a complete Ajax-based Rich Internet Application
(RIA) platform used by a large number of leading Global 2000 companies
for their mission critical web applications and is the perfect complement
to the Dojo Toolkit," said Dylan Schiemann, vice president at the Dojo
Foundation and CEO at SitePen. "Together, this family of developer tools
presents developers with an array of choices, ensuring they have access
to the right tools and support to be successful. Numerous integration
opportunities exist between General Interface, the Dojo Toolkit and other
foundation projects and we are currently working on tighter integration
between the Dojo Toolkit and General Interface for our next formal
release."

This partnership with the Dojo Foundation and SitePen expands TIBCO's
reach, bringing best-in-class enterprise tools directly to individual
developers and small development shops while providing the freedom and
financial advantages of "100-point" open source licensing models.

"By offering our General Interface source code to the Dojo development
community, we hope to spark creativity and innovation in application
development," said Tom Laffey, executive vice president of Products and
Technology at TIBCO. "Our partnership with the Dojo Foundation is just the
next step in our overall open source strategy. We are committed to
bringing world-class products to the open source community, offering our
expertise and sharing the insight we gain from that community to enhance
the value we provide to our worldwide enterprise customers. The open
source code we are providing to Dojo developers is line-for-line, the
exact enterprise-grade GI code currently deployed by many Fortune 500
companies around the world."

The enterprise edition of TIBCO General Interface remains a key product in
TIBCO's SOA suite of products and existing and new enterprise customers
can expect to receive the same world-class service and support from
TIBCO. Contributions from the open source community will be vetted and
supported by TIBCO in order to bring the highest possible value to our
customers.

General Interface is currently an open source project hosted by TIBCO,
available under the BSD open source license, with an active online
community that provides developers with source code, helper applications,
discussion forums and public defect and enhancement tracking. Until access
to General Interface is made available through the Dojo website, the TIBCO
open source project can be accessed at: http://gi.tibco.com.
