Yahoo to Give Away Email Code (Maybe)

Home

Yahoo allows outsiders to innovate on Yahoo e-mail: This sounds big.

Officials of the world’s largest Internet media company said on Friday it planned to give away the underlying code to Yahoo Mail, one of the crown jewels of its business, in a bid to encourage software developers to build new applications based on e-mail.

Quite a difference between exposing an API and giving away email code.
