Hi all,
some of you know that i am considering licensing and general
funding issues recently, see here for the current licensing status:
http://codespeak.net/py/trunk/faq.html#whygpl
However, i am considering releasing the execnet code under the
GPL and the the rest under the LGPL. This would mean that execnet
can be used in free software but not in proprietary software
without getting a different license.
I think execnet presents a unique and valuable approach to glueing
Python interpreters and doing rapid deployment. It can particularly
help with managing clouds of computers and I'd like to put more efforts
into improving and extending in this area. And i'd like to tap into
getting dual-licensing revenue. Which, on a side note, would flow back
to me and e.g. http://merlinux.eu/people.html so we all can continue to work
on great things.
I am open to comments, arguments or bribes in the form
of contracts for improvements :)
cheers,
holger
Maybe also of interest to you (currently unreachable for me, though)
