I already sent the email off a couple days ago.

Wildfire is dual-licensed, which means we offer it under the GPL as well
as a commercial license. That's why we're able to offer the Wildfire
Enterprise plugin commercially.
If you have any questions about writing commercial Wildfire plugins,
please ping us directly by email. If you decide to release as Open
Source, everything is pretty straightforward and there's quite an active
Open Source community.
Regards,
Matt

Subject: Re: [jdev] Use Question
See that's where I don't completely understand. First let me
say I'm ok either way. I can release whatever I make under
GPL. You say embed, but the site says plugins. So I guess my
question is, if I develop a plugin to Wildfire does it have
to be released, or can it be commercial? At first I was
thinking how can Jive develop plugins and offer commercial
plugins, yet other developers can't? But then again it is
authored by Jive, so I guess that's what makes it ok? I'm not
very good with all that stuff so I may just be not
understanding. I'll give that stuff a read. My idea was to
develop a client and plugin that goes on the Wildfire server.
Not sure if I'd charge or opensource it, but I still wanted
to know my options.

Justin,
There are no plans to move Wildfire from GPL to LGPL or
Apache. It's
pretty important for our Open Source business model that
we're able to
charge organizations that embed Wildfire into their commercial apps
(and hence purchase a commercial license agreement from us).
If you're interested in reading about our Open Source
philosophy, see:

I see you're a Jive person, will Jive be releasing Wildfire under
LGPL or Apache some time?

Justin,
XMPP isn't perfect for everything of course, and you didn't
provide a
lot of detail about your use case. Delivering content and live
interaction sounds like a very good fit, though. A few things you
might be interested in checking out:

My only question would be what weaknesses does XMPP
have. I would
like to deliver lots of content as well as live interaction. I'm
looking at using Wildfire and Smack, with XStream probably. Any
advice would be great. I'm pretty open.
