Peter Drayton and I were having a fierce discussion over some parts of the
licensing model in Rotor, and I'm curious to throw it out to the group at
large and see what emerges.
In particular, we were discussing Rotor hosting, and I was suggesting that
various "hosts", like the database folks like MySQL and/or mSQL, or the
Apache crowd, could host Rotor much as other databases do a JVM; Peter was
saying that they couldn't, since their products' licensing models allow
commercial use, where Rotor doesn't. I believe they could, so long as users
of the MySQL and/or mSQL and/or Apache products weren't using the Rotor
functionality for commercial use. Peter thinks I'm on crack. Can somebody
help Peter and me get back to blissful harmony? :-)
