Hi Miles,
Does this option include source-code for
that component?
absolutely!
If so, then I think I understand the confusion.
To some of us, it sounds like you are saying
"For $25, the user receives binaries, but not
source-code for the 'client' component.".
But I think what you are actually saying is :
"For $25, the user receives binaries *and*
source-code for the 'client' component, but
does not recieve binaries nor source-code
for the 'server' component.".
Ahhh...
- on the formal release date, all client and server code will be
available, GPL (or other open source license) for download by anyone
- the $25 also provides an account on our server, plus an identity cert
generated by us
- anybody will be completely free to download and install the server
component on their own server (for personal use, organizational use, or
to set up as a service provider) - and we hope that lots of people will
do so
- anybody will be free to generate their own self-certified identity
cert. and/or go to someone like Verisign
Before that, we'll actively distribute alpha and beta code to
contributors (we're hoping to attract testers and developers) - we'll be
providing access to our server and certs to contributors, and
contributors will be free to further distribute all source and binary
code - it's just that we won't be broadly distributing from our own
repository until formal release.
I hope this clarifies things.
