Hi Peter, I'm sorry to hear you have come to this conclusion so quickly. Have you read through the entire license text? There is a clause covering a shifting number of workstations needed:
17.2 Partial Ordinary Termination The Customer shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement for a part of the Workstations at the end of each Subscription Period by observing a notice period of three (3) months. [...] Would this respond to your needs? Of course you don't have to pay for 10 licenses if you don't need them 90% of the time. In addition to that, compared to other vendors who sell developer licenses, jOOQ's developer workstation license is not tied to the actual person working on the team. This provides you with even more flexibility when working with jOOQ. As I've mentioned before in this thread, I'm open to constructive solutions. This is also reflected on the downloads page ( http://www.jooq.org/download): Other price plans Haven't found a price plan that suits your needs? Contact us<[email protected]> for an individual price plan. So if you feel that there is any other way for us to come to an agreement, I am willing to discuss alternatives. Openly, or through the above e-mail.
