BusySync updated to version 1.5
I've been using it at my day job across departments and it's great. Version 1.5 adds internet synchronization. You can read the change log here.
BusySync requires Mac OS 10.4 or later and costs $19.95 for a single license (multi-license bundles are available).

Yeah...use the open source CalDav via the newly supporting Leopard OS and save $19.95 if you do the programming and write the code...which will take several hours which you could have saved by coughing up a $20 spot.
While you're at it, you can save the money for Final Cut Server if you know the programming language and want to take the time to set your system up.
Matter of fact, why even have Leopard at all, just write your own open source platform and write all of your own programs...woohoo!
Naw...for $20 this is a pretty good set up.

This would be great for LAN calendar sharing, but for sharing over the internet you must open direct it to an IP address and port as well as have that port open on your router. That would work if you were on a static IP address in the same place all the time, but for those of us that have portables and find ourselves all over the world, this just doesn't cut it. Hopefully they will get some further development because this could be handy. For now I stick with Spanningsync and Google.

Calendar Server (aka iCal Server) is open source. Now that iCal in Leopard supports CalDav out of the box, you can save yourself $19.95 if you have developer tools installed and are savvy enough to build and run Calendar Server.

I tried it - it's good, but I am hesitating at $19.95 per computer even though I only have two.
