Re: Open Source and community support

Hi Daniel,

I don't have much of an opinion on your pertinent question, since I
have never used your tools. However, I would point out that you can
make make any licensing agreement you want from your product. You may
not find what you want on the web, but you can take the standard GPL
license and modify it as you see appropriate.

From what I've learned today, another problem are legal issues
related to Open Source license agreements. For example, you are not
allowed to use commercial components in the same application with
Open Source GPL components, since the GPL Open Source license would
require the commercial components to be released as GPL Open Source,
too. So, many companies simply keep away from anything with the "Open
Source" tag on it.
