Hi everybody,
I wondered if this topic has been discussed before, I am sure it has.
However, I want to bug a little bit with it even if it has. I think it would
be very beneficial for Jess and the software development community if Jess
is put under the open source code licensing.
For instance, I worked in a for-profit company where we almost used Jess to
integrate it with EJB (I integrated Jess with EJB back in April 2000, I
wrote a toy pricing engine demo where the rules where evaluated with Jess
using a session EJB bean to model a product catalog). Jess was attractive
but we did not use it mainly because the complicated licensing policies. I
think we would have definitely used it if it had been open source. Where
this had been the case, maybe by this time they may have been an open source
connector from Jess to EJB.
My .2 cents on the Jess open source discussion.

P.S. I think the obvious response to my email will be: Jess is owned by the
US government. My response to this would be: the US would benefit more if
Jess is owned by the US developers instead.
