But the topic of licensing need to be fixed first. The option we choose for Autopano Pro and Panotools relation was to have an import and export for project file. It's seems that between closed source and GPL, this is good option to choose. In fact, it's exactly what Max was doing, he just called the exe, stuff that we didn't do, but the principle is the same. That's why I pretty agree with bruno's plan : - Design a (text / xml / whatever) common script to make panotool do stuff : (we could keep the panotool script language, it just have to be clearly documentated and updated). - Closed source will only use this script file to interface to pano13 and will not link in any way to it. - Everyone concentrate on pano13. I would be happy to help to manage such a goal. Alexandre Jenny autopano |
