The outlook is bleak. If you can do with software meeting historic standards you might be ok - for seriously making money, you're out of luck. That's my reading of the superb discusion of the topic on NZLUG in March. Thread: http://www.linux.net.nz/pipermail/nzlug/2007-March/007964.html > The license will have to allow for commercial work. Open source licenses always do. Commercial licenses, funnily enough, do too - afterall that's what you pays your money for, isn't it? If it's free beer but no-makign-money, well then it's not so free beer afterall, but then there always is a non-free-beer option (but we just had that).
