Couple of things: a) Licensing discussions bore me to tears, nearly as badly as political discussions. It was a struggle to even skim through this thread. I have no doubt I've missed stuff. b) Your blog post was very understandable once I made myself read it - thanks for your brevity and Plain Aussie English. c) I think that the dual licensing idea being proposed is very reasonable. You share your mods nicely with others and if you don't want to share, you have to pay for a locker to hide your stuff in. d) The only question I have relates to your comment that license fees would be "competitive". This is the grey area because I'm not sure who you're competing with. If we're talking a license fee of $500, that to me is not unreasonable. If the license fee was closer to $5000, then that's possibly not a problem for some of the kind of clients who want or need to keep their modifications to themselves. If the license fee was more like $50,000, then we're talking a different story entirely. Without even a ballpark it's hard to put the discussion in context. So can you at least give us an idea of who FarCry is competing with?
