The front page of this project states the licence as Other Licence. When I click this in search of more detail of what it means it takes me to a list of other projects.
Can someone confirm the licencing model?

GPL makes this useless. Lesser GPL would have allowed more to use these libraries with their software. Being restricted to GPL means that most companies need to look elsewhere, most likely forcing them to use proprietary and paid for closed source libraries. Why not MIT or Apache?

I'm afraid we too had to look else where for a solution because of the licence in place.

I was hopeful of using this library, but the licence model made it impossible for us also.

Same problem with the licence. GPL forced me to change to different library. In testing this is still proven to be the most stable java based library. Can this library or just the Modbus/TCP subset be purchased with less restrictive or even proprietary licence?

I understand, the license is meanwhile updated ti MIT, but on the other hand for commercial applations doesn't it makes sense to pay a small amount for a commercial product (Since you also wan't to get pad for your work)?

Suggest Keep MIT as well as a Paid option through Patreon or something like that.

Totally agree!.... For commercial use , no harm in paying a small amount to the developers. Developers very much deserve it.

Hi,
I updated the License. It is GPL.
