I'm currently writing a program in VB6 for a customer to communicate to a S7-300 and storing data in MySQL. I expect to finish it next week. Would you like to include a copy of this with with libnodave? If so, let me know where to send a copy when it is finished.
Thanks,
Bryan

Sorry brubingh, I read your message but then got somehow distracted by something else before giving an answer.
Yes, I should like to include a with libnodave. Please send it to my e-mail address which you'll find in several comments in the source code.
Thank you

If the code is used in a commercial program, then you must take care about the copyright
If you're an independent developer and you're writing the code for a program of a customer, then the copyright is normally owned by your customer and you can't release it with libnodave.
If you're an employee then you must ask your employer if he will allow to release the code under the (L)GPL.

Thanks for pointing out the copyright issues. The situation is that I've given a quote to a customer for a specific program. There is nothing in the quote or elsewhere which states anything regarding source code. In other words, my quote details a program and what it will do. The quote does not state anything about source code. They have issued a purchase order which references my quote. In the absence of anything regarding source code, either verbal or otherwise, my standard policy is that I give them a copy of the source code and they are free to use it as they see fit. I also have the source code and am free use it as I see fit. Of course, my company policy (I own the company) is that if I'm doing anything which might involve corporate secrets (and I have in the past) I won't release any of that source code as public domain.
There is one other factor which comes into play in this case, and that is MySQL. I am not purchasing a license for it, which, according to their license (as I read it), means that I MUST release the source code as public domain. If I don't want to do that, I must purchase a license from MySQL - which I did not include in my quote.

I'm very interested. I'm a vb.net developer and I bought a S7-226 PLC for domotica in my home. I would like to talk to it from code...
