But anyone can give it free away as soon as he's got a copy. Also it's freely accessible from subversion and source forge. I'm thinking of a "tunneling EULA". No matter how the copy got to the end user, even as part of a dervied work under different license, I want to get my share from the big commercial end user. > Define "commercial organization". give me 100 examples, on at least 90 of them there will be no discussion and a 10 year old boy will judge correctly in a second. For the other 10 I don't care and won't argue if they claim, they're not commercial. > >is free for the first 5 concurrent named users. > > I doubt I'm the only person to see how a firm with 500 employees, all of > which use the software, can be in full compliance with the license, > without paying the specified license fee. we've got only few customers with more than 100 employees, IntarS is a SMB solution; employee ist not user; there might be 20 potential named users amongst 100 employees; and they're not logged in all together at the same time; just imagine the number of 5 free permanently concurrent named users as a limit that's high enough to be outside the influence sphere of Open Source effects. > > Also wondering why you prohibit organizations that are neither > non-commercial ventures, nor commercial ventures from using your product. in doubt, they're non-commercial. -- Pirmin Braun - IntarS Unternehmenssoftware GmbH - Am Hofbräuhaus 1 - 96450 Coburg +49 2642 40526292 +49 174 9747584 - skype:pirminb www.intars.de p...@intars.de Geschäftsführer: Pirmin Braun, Ralf Engelhardt Registergericht: Amtsgericht Coburg HRB3136 _______________________________________________ License-discuss mailing list License-discuss@opensource.org http://projects.opensource.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/license-discuss
