Hi
I was on vacation the last weeks and now I tried to find a more
concrete
answer and I want to add another yes-no-question:
-If a company wants to run VW on a server for internal use, and want to
develope additional smallwiki-functionality, do I need to pay or not?
We had talks on the cebit this year with cincom to put this question
to them
- and the answer we got was 'yes, you have to pay'. In this case we
has to
pay a developer license at great expense.
This topic demands a conclusion!
If that is true (that you have to pay) then VW is useless for *any*
kind of
Open Source/Free Software development.
That would mean that *running* an Open Source application requires you
to buy a
*developer* license.
If that is true, People should just port their stuff to Squeak and
forget about VW.
