Re: [xmlvm-users] Using xmlvm in a commercial product

[Sascha H. <sa...@gm...>]

I just consulted with someone from our team who obviously knows more about
GPL & Co than I do, and it seems like I might be wrong. It might indeed be a
problem for you to use XMLVM you commercial
product as you have to "link" your code against ours.
I would recommend you to take a closer look at what XMLVM can offer you
today and if this is indeed enough for your purposes, please let us know
again and we can talk about future licensing options that might fit your
needs better.

Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks
// Sascha
