If you're the only developer on your product, and your product is used only with Oracle, then you can buy a single "jOOQ Professional Edition" license regardless of the number of your customers. However, you may not sublicense or redistribute jOOQ, i.e. you may not make it available to your customers. Otherwise, they too (or you) would have to buy additional Workstation licenses. I believe that the additional cost of using jOOQ in licensed software products is negligible, the more customers you have. This is comparable to ZKoss, a popular UI framework who are selling developer licenses ( http://www.zkoss.org/price/pricing) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jOOQ User Group" group.
