Codehost and Easy Software Announce License Agreement
Jan. 16, 2003

Culver City, CA and Hollywood, MD -- (press release excerpt) -- Codehost, Inc. and Easy Software Products announced today that the two companies have entered into a licensing agreement that will allow Codehost to utilize aspects of the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) source code. The CUPS source code will be used within BrightQ, Codehost‘s popular turnkey printing suite for corporate UNIX and Linux users of multi-function devices and high-end printers

“With the inclusion of CUPS source code, Codehost is capitalizing on what is emerging as an industry standard in Linux and UNIX print systems. While we have included some CUPS code in our product, BrightQ still retains its ability to function with or without CUPS acting as the default print system,” said Eric Levy, Codehost’s General Manager of printing systems.

Codehost has merged components of the CUPS technology with the advanced installation, print queue management, and sophisticated vendor centric filters, and parsers of the BrightQ printing suite. This allows Codehost to further protect its OEM partner’s investments while increasing the scalability and interoperability of BrightQ.

BrightQ was chosen as a finalist for the Best Desktop Office Solution award during the LinuxWorld 2002 in San Francisco.

Information about BrightQ and Codehost’s additional products and services can be found online at http://www.codehost.com.
