Getting Open Sound System source codeOpen Sound System (binary) installation packages for various operating systems are available from our download page. These binaries are licensed under the 4Front commercial license and have a 6 month trial license. Commercial support is available for this version when you order the license from the OSS home page. Official source code of OSS is available from our source download site
under the GPLv2, BSD and CDDL 1.0 licenses. This is the stable version
(v4.0) of the Open Sound System. There is also a Mercurial
(hg) source code repository (at http://mercurial.opensound.com/)
that contains the latest development version (v4.1) of Open Sound
System. Please note that this Mercurial (hg) repository should only be used by developers who would like to contribute to OSS. Patches to the development version are verified and back ported to the stable version. There are no fees or any other requirements to become an Open Sound developer. Contributions to OSS must be accompanied by a signed contributor's agreement (see sidebar). Getting tehcnical support and reporting bugsIf you are a licensed customer you can file a service request

developers who want technical discussions with 4Front. There is However if you have downloaded the source code and find a bug in it you should report it to the oss-devel mailing list (see above).
