It's an annual limit afaik. But it's a "revenue" limit, not profit, with no allowance for any the costs that even a hobbyist or open source developer might incur. e.g. if someone makes software available for download they will most likely incur traffic costs for the downloads. With a "donation" scheme in place, the donations may not even cover the traffic costs, but as soon as those donations hit $1000, they are in violation of their license terms, even tho they still aren't actually making any money from their Delphi use.
This is what I mean by it being ridiculously low. If it was $1000 *profit* then it would be different. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeremy North Sent: Tuesday, 1 February 2011 12:58 To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List Subject: Re: [DUG] Delphi Starter Edition > The $1000 revenue limit is also bizarrely low imho - it's high enough to > worm it's way around any "non-commercial use" restriction, but not high > enough to realistically be anything other than a "non-commercial use only" > restriction in all but name. It is targeted at open source or hobbyists developers. I don't see any issues with the limit. Is the $1000 per year or a running total? _______________________________________________ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: [email protected] Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to [email protected] with Subject: unsubscribe _______________________________________________ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: [email protected] Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to [email protected] with Subject: unsubscribe
