SOGo is free + Open Source
There is a multiple-platform alternative to this product that is free, open-source, and works flawlessly for iPhone and Mac Calendar and address book sharing;
The name of the project is SOGo I've been using it for several clients with great results; it doesn't rely upon the Java framework, so that means it's lightweight and fast... BTW... I've no particular connection to this project, other than being a satisfied admin, providing several companies with this service all from one remote server... Hope this helps Be Well Peter

Address Book Server is also FREE as of July. Currently we are not open source as there are no interested developers contributing. So with nobody looking at the code there is little point in open sourcing the project. In spirit the project is open source in as much as if anyone is interested in contributing towards improving Address Book Server I would be more then happy to share the source. This has always been the case since the project started back in 2007, and goes back even further back to the days I worked on ABxLDAP, AB4LDAP and AB2LDAP. This is also the reason the project is going to be available for FREE from now on which will make it hopefully easier to get other developers interested in joining.
After all what is the point of open source if nobody else is looking at it. It is not about getting software for free, but getting free software. Might be interested in reading what RMS has to say on this: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html Just to comment on your suggestion for SOGo. We also have support for iOS via ABCMobile (from the AppStore). Our web interface still has lot of potential for improvement, but is functional. In particular the reports allow for interesting analysis, such as google earth reports to map the location of all your contacts, birthday reports etc. Have fun

These really differ in their intended audience. Not to speak for the OP, but ABServer is a personal solution where SOGo is enterprise. SOGo, like the Darwin packages, has several of its own dependencies and needs more hands on skill to install and administer than ABServer.

Quite a few businesses are using Address Book Server in a enterprise / commercial environment. The the ability to sync a subset of groups in Address Book was added especially of this market. Also one of my larger customers is running around 60 Macs on a single server. I have to admit in this case we had to move to a move from the standard embedded database to the more powerful PostgreSQL. Similarly the ability to host more then once server instance on the same system without using substantial more resources has also been added to address the needs of the enterprise market.
