Free range software for linux

Long Range ZIP is a compression program that can achieve very high compression ratios and speed when used with large files. It uses the combined compression algorithms of lzma for maximum compression, lzo for maximum speed, and the long range redundancy reduction of rzip.
It is designed to scale with increases with RAM size, improving compression further. A choice of either size or speed optimizations allows for either better compression than even lzma can provide, or better speed than gzip, but with bzip2 sized compression levels.
Enhancements:
- Blocks to be compressed by lzma are now scanned by lzo in advance to find incompressible data and bypass attempting to compress them.
- This speeds up substantially attempting to compress incompressible files, and should fix the "lzma getting stuck on an incompressible block" bug.
- Basic Darwin support was added.
- Compression mode was stratified for lower levels of lzma compression.

Skaringa is an API for Java and XML language binding.
It transforms Java objects into XML documents and back, and can generate XML schema definitions for a Java class.
Typical applications are data exchange, object persistence, object transformation, and driving XML based presentation layers.
Skaringa is designed for speed and simplicity, supporting a wide range of types. Skaringa works with all Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs), it is not limited to special cases, like JavaBeans.
Enhancements:
- New layout of documentation and website.
- Use SiteBuilder to generate HTML documententation.

fontimage project is a small, portable tool that generates PNG images of text strings directly from outline font files.
Main features:
- only depnends on libpng and freetype, should be very portable
- handles charaters outside of ascii range
- Licensed under GNU GPL
- Tested on Fedora Core 5 and CentOS 4.3

RhinoRider provides applets with an interface to the Web document. Depending on the capabilities of the browser, RhinoRider project aims to provide these DOM features:
- Core level 3
- XML
- Events
- Traversal
- Range

Rhinohide is a Java implementation of the W3C DOM, layered over a Web browsers native JavaScript.
Rhinohide provides an interface for applets to manipulate their containing Web pages, using a standard Java binding of the DOM. The code is still in alpha, and coverage is incomplete, but at least partial support is provided for these DOM features:
- Core level 3
- XML
- Events
- Traversal
- Range

Grails aims to bring the "coding by convention" paradigm to Groovy. Its an open-source web application framework that leverages the Groovy language and complements Java Web development.

You can use Grails as a standalone development environment that hides all configuration details or integrate your Java business logic.

The project aims to make development as simple as possible and hence should appeal to a wide range of developers not just those from the Java community.

mrtg-misc-probe probes different system features for mrtg to graph.
Currently it can probe:
- percent usage of disk space and inodes for UFS filesystems
- percent usage of disk space for VxFS filesystems
- incoming and outgoing mail messages on sendmail mail server
- total size of mail messages sendt and received on sendmail mail server
- network delay using NTP peers/servers
- number of ClearCase vobs and views
- number of available and used ClearCase and MultiSite licenses
- number of active and disconnected sessions of a Citrix Metaframe server
- number of reachable hosts in a given network range
- network device reachability (ping success)
Enhancements:
- New probes: ctxmf - number of active and disconnected Citrix Metaframe sessions; hostcount - scan given nmap-network-range and return number of hosts found.
