Making the software open-source will help elevate the company's profile among new customers, improve quality through better debugging, help translate the software into new languages, and attract new software modules, said Chief Executive Bob Walters.
"We feel we'll get further, faster," he said. "We are betting this company on open source."
Untangle was founded in 2003, and Walters took over in 2006. The San Mateo, Calif.-based company has 25 employees and gears its products chiefly for smaller companies with 250 or fewer employees. The company's software will be released Tuesday under version 2 of the General Public License (GPL).
