Re: [Cppcms-users] CppCMS moving to MIT License

[Nazım C. B. <naz...@ne...>]

Hello Artyom,

Thank you very much for bringing more freedom to CppCMS. With all my 
respect, I would like to propose one thing concerning your efforts in 
the library:

    Would you still consider commercial license for CppCMS? Maybe
    something similar to one offered by SQLite developers?


Why? Because,

 1. Yes, by moving to MIT license, you destroyed the license
    limitations. Thus, nobody is required to pay for doing closed-source
    development.
 2. But, there are some people out there (like me and my company), who
    needs premium support. i.e., someone to send an e-mail and get quick
    and professional reply in timely manner.
 3. And the support described at 2nd clause should take time for the
    developer, which shouldn't be offered for free*.


* Dear list users, please don't get me wrong. I am not trying to say 
that support should be something paid for, but still community support 
and professional support is completely different things.


Best regards,
Nazim Can.
