Great, another clueless response. um, you are a *Ext* fanboy - no?
There's a huge difference between a platform / app server / Java and a library being GPL. A library being GPL means you need you release the source of your entire application, simple. An app server or Java being GPL has absolutely no effect on the licensing and distribution of your application while using GPL library means that you need to release all your code making it unsuitable for use in commercial products. btw where did you read that Java bait and switched to GPL? We were considering using products from the Ext family a long time ago but avoid it like the plague now. Our legal team looked at it and found numerous violations and we did report in on the Ext / ExtGWT forums but the posts were mostly ignored or deleted. For example ExtGWT still uses some code from SWT. SWT is licensed under EPL and EPL is well documented to be incompatible with GPL. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_Public_License Since we are no longer planning on using ExtGWT, I have no intentions of burning any more time trying to get them to resolve this. If you are going to make such statements or take a bait, do your homework first. To the original poster : we have decided to go with GWT and GWT incubator widgets and have had excellent results.
