No. We charge clients to install it but have never sold it on a per-license basis. Like a lot of apps, it grew organically out of a need for a small, simple CMS for smaller clients. In the past year we've worked to make the code less ugly and more easily reused...
The GNU license works for this, correct? As long as we don't sell the software itself, we're complying? -----Original Message----- From: Neil Clark - =TMM= [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 27, 2002 11:55 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: GNU Public License But you sell it at the moment?

It's in a bastardized FuseBox 2.0 format, supports CF 4, 4.5 and 5, and has handled as many as 12,000 uniques in 3 hours in a real world situation. I'm hoping that, by releasing it on sourceforge, we can get more addicts - uh, I mean grow the community of CF users - and maybe sharpen our CMS a bit, too. Everyone benefits. Some of the features I'll probably put on the task list: - MySQL support - SQL 2000 support - CFMX support, including XML-based syndication - Dynamic Flash support - Replacing all back-end JAVA applets with Flash Ian -----Original Message----- From: Neil Clark - =TMM= [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 27, 2002 11:41 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: GNU Public License Not at all, Access is only a database platform! Sure the user has to have a copy of Access, but Big Brother cant come back on you, unless you have a dodgy copy of course ;-) There is a CMS system on Sourceforge based on CF, called CosMoS have a look to see what the deal is...... it is in Fusebox 3. Have you got a development framework already...?

Anyone else done anything like this? What do I need to know? For example: 1. Do you typically include the text of the license in the software itself? 2. Any special commenting I should do? We currently use Fusedocs... 3. If the system uses MS Access as the datasource, am I letting myself in for a lawsuit from Microsoft by releasing the system?
