New York, NY – November 30, 2011 –With the release of its latest product, Base One International has taken a
radical step, both in its pricing and in its entire approach to selling software. Base One has introduced a new
subscription-based publication, Essential Software Library, devoted to open source developer tools. Hosted on
Content Galaxy, Essential Software Library includes single developer licenses and source code for Base One’s full
line of products, for an annual subscription price of $29.95. In addition to its own products, Base One is
planning to incorporate developer and power user tools from independent authors and vendors into Essential
Software Library.
For Content Galaxy, Essential Software Library represents a crucial milestone – the first live publication built
on the Content Marketplace Platform (CMP), its proprietary infrastructure for premium content hosting services.
CMP handles payment processing, subscription management, accounting, reporting, and security, guaranteeing that
all participants (content providers, publishers, editors, and affiliates) are compensated according to clear,
verifiable formulas based on actual subscriber usage.
“The concept of open source typically is associated with a hodge-podge of free and, all too often, marginally
supported software.” said Steven Asherman, President and Chief Technology Officer of Base One. “By pooling together
a body of well curated, top-notch software from many independent sources, Essential Software Library will offer
a compelling value to subscribers, while ensuring that authors and editors are appropriately motivated to contribute
work of the highest quality.”
