As a non-profit org, is it still okay for us to offer links like "Thank
you YourKit for your assistence with allowing us to use your
excellent profiler tools" and a link in exchange for free licenses? In
the past I've been dissuaded from doing similar things. There
are a few places where I'd like to pander for help on POI and have a few
contacts that would be interested in said linked-thanking.

My position has always been that we should not provide links for donating software licenses as there is no actual cost of materials to the company "donating" the software license. Hardware and bandwidth donations, yes; software licenses, no.

Hi Geronimo Developers,

I shot an email out to the YourKit folks to see about getting a license for their most excellent profiler. Seems like the are willing to give us free licenses. Who interested, and would there be problem with dropping a link to YourKit from our website?

Regards,
Hiram

Hello Hiram,

thank you for your interest in our product.

Sure, we can grant free of charge licenses to developers of "Apache Geronimo" project.
Please send us list of developers which need licenses (first and last names).


In return it would like to have a link to YourKit somewhere in "credits" section
of http://geronimo.apache.org/ (please take a look at http://groovy.codehaus.org/)
