what is NMS? NMS is a .NET version of JMS. In other words an API that allows .NET clients to interact with a messaging server, especially one that follows the same semantics as JMS (i.e. a JMS server like Apache ActiveMQ) what is the NMS API? Same as above. who specficies it? NMS has been

Interesting proposition, however the concept of derived work in a strict copyright sense (i.e., derivative work) may not apply to implementation of a specification. Copyright protects against copying ultimately. A derivative work is a work that is based on and actually includes part of the

Bingo. Nicely explained. I'm glad someone else sees the problem. We need to keep our software 100% clean; its amazing how much IP law you need to know to write code and give it away. Which is why the generic form API for AMQP should be derived from AMQP, not JMS. AMQP itself was designed
