I don't think ExtJS themselves understood their own license, which is what added to the confusion. When I contacted them RE: ColdExt they said I *could* use the LGPL... /shrug :P > We are left with the prospect of > staying with the current 2.x release (on no support and grey areas re: > licensing), upgrading and adhering to GPL, or removing the code base > entirely. I'm sure you realise, but this is similar to what FarCry developers may experience if the license changes to the GPL. > Although we could sort out a OEM/Reseller agreement for ourselves, > that could not be passed to the community under CPL. > > With respect to extJS, the only hope is a license exception that > allows non-GPL compliant open source distributions such as CPL to > include the library:http://extjs.com/products/ux-exception.php Since FarCry is a framework, I believe you could buy an OEM license and continue to offer FarCry under the CPL. I'm not saying you should, but I think it's an option. From the ExtJS site (http://extjs.com/ products/license.php): "OEM / Reseller License This is the appropriate option if you are creating a product that is a software development library, toolkit or framework. There are many benefits to partnering with us: With an OEM license, your customers (developers) would not be required to meet the terms of the GPL license and can use Ext functionality under your license terms " cheers, Justin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "farcry-dev" group.
