Hi my friends, In this weekend i'll release SuperWaba 2.0beta4. One of its big changes is in the license. I asked Rick to let me change the license to LGPL and he answered this: "I don't disagree with anyone trying to make some money off Waba. There have been a few companies who have taken a shot at it and as long as they do a good job, I support their efforts. As long as there isn't something that keeps a basic waba being free, I'm ok with it. " So, SuperWaba must run now separetely from the WabaSpec. That dont means that it wont follow the WabaSpec, but we must be careful about using each others code. Also, i'm a little confused if a lgpl isnt so much "free" as he wants. Here are 2 questions: 1. can a gpl product use a Lgpl piece of code? 2. can a Lgpl product use a gpl piece of code? If both answers are true, please disregard the last phrase in the las paragraph. Starting at January, i'll create SuperWaba.com, and i'll try to live from it, specially by giving courses and support. I'll also port SW to all platforms, including phone ones. The idea is to spread its use to all over the world. And, i'm very emotioned with all the good words and aproval i received from people regarding this idea. Michael: can i use in SW your code for Introspection? thanks guich ps: i don't remember who changed the license to bsd, but, if you dont want to have your code hijacked, better change it to other thing. |
