Kristiansand, Norway -- RealNetworks, a provider of media delivery technology, announced on Monday an agreement with Linux software developer Red Hat, to ship its open source Helix Player with Red Hat's desktop PC software. The company signed a similar deal with Linux developer Novell, and also said that it will soon add the GNU General Public License to the Helix Player, allowing developers to freely build upon the software without paying royalties. Seattle-based RealNetworks also said that on Wednesday it will release its free RealPlayer 10 software for Mac OS X.
