By 'compatible' I mean currently ODE can be distributed with commercial applications without requiring the source-code of those commercial application to be made available, whatever license ExtJs is currently under (and I'm particularly bitter about this as their license changed several times from an initially commercially-friendly license to ultimately a dual-license solution that requires payment to distribute, and then tried to scare people who had legitimately forked the application as per the original license! ) precludes this from being the case, so by 'linking' (insert today's definition of linking) to that library ODE would be tainted..... but I do tend to find it very difficult to understand the whys+wherefores of licensing so I could well be wrong :) - Cj. > > alex >
