If I write a client-side application using REBOL/Core,
may I distribute it without requiring users to obtain
their own copy through rebol.com?
The Core agreement seems to say "no" in that part about
non-transferability. I'm hoping I got this wrong as it
would put a damper on the distribution of my application.
"REBOL Technologies (REBOL) hereby grants you a non-
exclusive and non-transferable license to use the Software
and Documentation for the purpose of designing, developing,
writing, testing and running computer software applications.
If you do not agree with the terms herein, then do not use
the software."
Take Java for example. The runtime can be separated from
the development environment so they have separate license
agreements but that is not the case with REBOL since it is
both the environment and the runtime. If the answer to my
question really is "no" then I am disappointed both for the
viability of my application and for that of REBOL in
general as it will be difficult for it to overtake Java's
level of market penetration without changing the agreement.
