They do have to start somewhere, but AFAICT, it's not true that anyone is free to extend the current solution. There's a thread on licensing on the Jive Dev forum discussing the licensing on the Jive SDK - basically the license prevents people from redistributing any code changes. This means you're unlikely to see the same kind of community-based development on the Jive stuff as you saw on the slimserver code. In particular, you're very unlikely to see community ports to the N800 or iPhone. Possibly some commercial dev might enter into an agreement with Logitech to do a port and sell us client software... -- doundounba ------------------------------------------------------------------------ doundounba's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4558 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
