Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
I feel very sorry, this solution can only work on windows and ce now. but in
future it will work on other systems.
As OpenOffice.org is a multi platform office suite it would serve
better for our purposes if your solution could be used at least on
Linux and Max OS X too.
It seems to be a good idea to download software via P2P without
needing to install a client first. But if I understand you right,
that's only for download - people are not asked if they want to
share with others what they have got?
This takes load from our download servers - but I don't know if P2P
will work as it is designed, when lots of people use it for download
only without becoming seeders.
It is able to download from seeders of
any other systems or clients.
If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me.
What's about the license?
Your homepage write for the standard BitComet software that it is
free for no commercial use, but (correct me if I'm wrong) every user
"in support of any commercial entity or activity" needs a written
agreement of BitComet.
Will this be the same with BitCometLite? As we don't do any
differentiation between commercial and non-commercial use of
OpenOffice.org it will become quite problematic including this
program in any OpenOffice.org distribution.
It's a good approach to have a download program being able to get
the latest stable release of OpenOffice.org (probably we'll have to
rename the files accordingly), but in the moment these points hinder
us (just my personal opinion!) to use and promote it.
If you'll be able to provide your program for Linux and Mac OS X
too, and if you consider using a free license
(at least like CC by-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/2.5/,
better LGPL http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html) your proposal
would probably get much more positive attention.
Best regards
Bernhard
