Hi, We are currently working on a web-developpement tool for a private company.
The people who fund the project are okay to give opensource a try, but they insist on some restrictions. (for the business model to be sucessful). The licence would not be so bad. The only restriction is about the redistribution of binaries wich would be restricted. Windows binaries distribution would be forbidden, but GNU/Linux (as well as GNU Hurd and BSDs) binary distribution would be okay without restriction. >From the GNU/Linux point of view, the licence is like GPL. Only windows and other non free operating system would be restricted. For them, the licence is like QMail's licence. From what I understand, we can't do what Trolltech is doing with QT because : - This is an end user tool, not a library. - The codebase between GNU/Linux and Windows will be mostly the same since gtkmm will be used for the GUI. We would like to write the most open-source friendly licence based on the above terms, and we are open to any suggestion. Dual licencsing is an option if we find a way to make evrything working.
