Hello, I'm getting a steady stream of companies and institutions asking me about their licensing requirements or license quotes for NetBeans.
This would seem an ASF generic problem, but I think it applies a bit differently to NetBeans since we are a big user-facing application. Obviously these entities have no legal department reading the Apache license so they go out and find the "Commercial Support" page and email me to ask. As far as I can tell these companies want to *use* Apache NetBeans and educational institutions want to teach *using* NetBeans. So, it would simplify matters greatly if there would be a specific page were this situation would be clarified. I particularly like the Creative Commons solution. Their license pages have a "human-readable summary"[1] which is what these companies are actually looking for. Could something like this be made for the Apache license? 1. eg. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ --emi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
