Hey Guys, Thanks for the response. How would dual licensing work... -- Do I simply need to contact the authors and get a special license. -- If they give some sort of special license for JMeter Usage, does it need to be done in some way to avoid being sued?
I'm not worried so much about the Mibble library because I can re-write/find a replacement. The JRobin stuff is a re-write of RRDTool in Java which might be hard to find a replacement for.
