This is by now old news, but I ws wondering if anyone had allready taken a look
at the RAQ code Sun released under a BSD licence just before christmas.

The source is available at http://open.cobaltqube.org/

THe readme is which is in the tarball looks like this: 

23 December 2003

Thank you for downloading the Sun Cobalt Open Source RaQ550 v1.0 Distribution.

LICENSES: All software in this distribution, except files contained in the
kernel/ directory tree, are subject to the terms of the license file 
"sun_bsd.txt" located in the directory root of this distribution.  All 
files contained in the kernel/ directory tree are subject to the terms of the
license file "gpl.txt" located in the directory root of this distribution.  

The RaQ550 distribution is composed of many publicly available RPM software 
packages that can be downloaded in source or binary form from:

     ftp://ftp.cobalt.sun.com/pub/products/raq550/

This Sun Cobalt Open Source RaQ550 Distribution is a collection of source code
not previously available to the public.

The ui/ directory contains a snapshot of the sustained RaQ550 appliance
front and back-end code as of September 2003.  Majordomo has been removed
from base-maillist.mod/src/majordomo/ due to license issues.

It is easiest to expand this archive on an existing RaQ550 as the root user.  
Install ui/devel-tools/ by running the following commands:

cd ui/devel-tools
make
make install

bluelinq/ is the BlueLinQ server software that hosts distributions to the
embedded BlueLinQ clients in the Sun Cobalt RaQ XTR, Qube3 and RaQ550.

kernel/bwmgmt is the source to the traffic shaping kernel module
This source is is licensed under the terms of the file gpl.txt included
in the directory root of this distribution. 

cce/ is the Cobalt Configuration Engine, a custom dispatching database used
by most of the appliance code in ui/

cce-shell-tools/ is a command line interface toolset for CCE.


Enjoy,

Will DeHaan <will@guck.net>


TODO
- port this to your general purpose OS of choice (Debian and Suse street please)
- use this code to help out every shop that supported Cobalt back in the day
