Not sure how/if it would cause more issues in a scenario where someone bundled squeezelite pre-installed on a hardware box. Licensing will be an issue on consumer packaged hardware unless: - You sell to the masses so the initial/annual license costs are small compared to your revenue or - Someone else has already payed the license for you (if I've understood correctly this can be the case for some audio circuits, at least in theory) The issues regarding licenses only cause problem if you only plan to sell a few devices. The per device cost is often not the issue, it's the initial/annual minimal costs that cause problems. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
