|Subject: [jBoss-Dev] About clustering & Jini license
|
|
|Hi,
|
|I was wondering trough various discussions in mail-archive about
|clustering. They all seem to indicate that JINI would be the technology
|to do it.
|
|It seems like a nice technology, indeed, but as I was going to
|use it in an other project, I discovered that the licensing scheme
|for it seems to be very complicated, looks like one has to start
|sending papers to Sun when it is used commercially.
|
|So, when the future jBoss maybe includes JINI stuff, does one have
|to get into agreement with Sun before I can run it in a commercial
|site ? I hope I have understood these things wrong :-)
No you haven't afaik it is the "scsl" right? and you have rights to work on
a research mode. FYI we are working with SUN to solve the licensing issues.
I would like "licensing" discussions to not pre-empt technical ones (even
though they are very valid ;-). I would like for the merits of JINI to be
discussed independently and then we will put "licensing" in... :)
