Red Hat built their business selling GPL binaries dearly and giving free access to source for free. > The system only do a request to an http adress that you can specify in > settings. ..ok, that's a clean way to do it. > By default it's http://mpmap01.flightgear.org/ but user can use > another. > > > > > > - You can select a Master Plane > > > - You can add five aircraft to follow > > > > ..why only 5? > > > > Is it interesting to follow more 5 at same time ? ..yup, we have had FG fly-ins on a coupla of these servers, and every time I'm on a mpmapXX.flightgear.org/, there's a dozen or 2 flying. > > > - You can have a guide to landing > > > - You can zoom in / out > > > - You can choose Map Provider (Google, Bing, Nokia) > > > > ..openstreetmap etc too soon? > > > > Sorry never, openstreetmap don't use Mercator system and no time to > adapt. ..a lot of people will volonteer that work under the GPL. Most people here put their code on git servers, that also allows easy source access, you simply tell your clientele to e.g. "git clone git://mapserver.flightgear.org/git/simgear" or feed them an url to a tarball on your web server over rsync "to save bandwith" and scare away el-cheapo windroids and iPatent litigator fanbois. ..e.g. "git checkout -b 2.8.0 origin/release/2.8.0" saves tarball disk space, and if you add file checksum logging to the scripts in: http://wiki.flightgear.org/Scripted_Compilation_on_Linux_Debian/Ubuntu you'll have an easy way to prove your case in court, should anyone file a lawsuit on you, judges tend to get annoyed at sloppy lawyers who needs "5 more weeks in discovery" because they dunno how to do searches in a git style commit history, in _their_ pile of junk. ;o) > > > - The card can automatically center on his plane > > > - You can specify an airport by ICAO and the system will be > > > positioned over every single > > > Anyway ...

Now, don't push your luck too far. ;o) > Probably some week or some month. ..ok, means "probably 5-6-7-9-11-13-17 weeks." > I hopes do Lite/free version first. ..hum. Don't call free unless it really is free as in freedom, e.g. under the GPL, call it gratis or freebee so everybody sees it is free as in free beer, if you do go that non-GPL route. ..the big money in in Android these days. Also why Apple and Microsoft fan lawsuits on people like Samsung and Xplane. Austin says he can handle US$1.5M, but the average cost when Microsoft files bogus harassment suits, is US$3M, and since Xplane isn't GPL, there's not much help out there for him. ..then again, we have these amusing yahoo bug splat suits: :o) http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20120913073511444 http://www.groklaw.net/comment.php?mode=display&sid=20120918081710752&title=Rackspace+sued+for+hosting+GitHub&type=article&order=&hideanonymous=0&pid=1004323#c1004377 -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt Karlsen ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
