Its corporate headquarters was in Paris, and it had development centers in Metz, France〔(Presentation, slide 4 )〕 and Curitiba, Brazil. Mandriva, S.A. was the developer and maintainer of a Linux distribution called Mandriva Linux, as well as various enterprise software products. Mandriva is a founding member of the Desktop Linux Consortium. ==History== Mandriva, S.A. began as MandrakeSoft in 1998. MandrakeSoft changed its name to "Mandriva" after losing litigation to the Hearst Corporation over the name "Mandrake." The Hearst Corporation had a comic strip called Mandrake the Magician. The litigation concluded in February 2004, and appeals expired in early 2005. In 2005, MandrakeSoft acquired the assets of Lycoris, and purchased Conectiva. The name "Mandriva" was selected to reflect the names "MandrakeSoft" and "Conectiva." On 2008-01-16, Mandriva and Turbolinux announced a partnership to create a lab named Manbo-Labs, to share resources and technology to release a common base system for both companies' Linux distributions.〔(Mandriva and Turbolinux announce a partnership and create a joint development lab called Manbo-Labs )〕 On May 22, 2015, Mandriva was liquidated. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mandriva」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
