Developed by Apple, it is the open source equivalent of QuickTime Streaming Server, and is based on its code.
The initial DSS source code release compiled only on OS X, but external developers quickly ported the code to Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris,[1] Tru64 Unix, Mac OS 9 and Windows.
Source code is available as a release download or as development code via CVS.
