See that's where I don't completely understand. First let me say I'm ok
either way. I can release whatever I make under GPL. You say embed, but
the site says plugins. So I guess my question is, if I develop a plugin
to Wildfire does it have to be released, or can it be commercial? At
first I was thinking how can Jive develop plugins and offer commercial
plugins, yet other developers can't? But then again it is authored by
Jive, so I guess that's what makes it ok? I'm not very good with all
that stuff so I may just be not understanding. I'll give that stuff a
read. My idea was to develop a client and plugin that goes on the
Wildfire server. Not sure if I'd charge or opensource it, but I still
wanted to know my options.

Justin,
There are no plans to move Wildfire from GPL to LGPL or Apache. It's
pretty important for our Open Source business model that we're able to
charge organizations that embed Wildfire into their commercial apps (and
hence purchase a commercial license agreement from us).
If you're interested in reading about our Open Source philosophy, see:

Also, a fairly recent and relevant blog entry from us:

I see you're a Jive person, will Jive be releasing Wildfire
under LGPL or Apache some time?

Justin,
XMPP isn't perfect for everything of course, and you didn't
provide a
lot of detail about your use case. Delivering content and live
interaction sounds like a very good fit, though. A few things you
might be interested in checking out:

My only question would be what weaknesses does XMPP have. I would
like to deliver lots of content as well as live interaction. I'm
looking at using Wildfire and Smack, with XStream probably. Any
advice would be great. I'm pretty open.
