Great you (still) like it. ;-) > I think I'm going to use QooxDoo as my complete GUI solution for all my web > apps that it "fits" and in particular, my Jegas Application Server's front > end.

Here are just some quick comments (this is no legal advice!): Commercial products (i.e. "selling") are fully supported by qooxdoo's licenses. Since you're talking about an Application Server, I suppose you'd ship some software to customers? This is unlike most users, which merely host qooxdoo-based apps internally or publicly. You then need to focus on the "distribution" aspect of the licenses, particularly LGPL: Details depend on what you actually distribute (library vs. app) and if and what you changed in the lib, also how you package/combine both. Basically, you don't have to put your own app code under the same license, but any modifications to the library (i.e. qooxdoo) are to be made available to others in a license compatible way. For that, you'd need to be clear about the licensing, copyright, attribution, etc. Since qooxdoo is dual-licensed, you are free to choose between the LGPL _or_ EPL. I don't advocate/prefer any of the 2 licenses, just note that they share much of the same "spirit". So much for a short feedback on the subject. I won't be available til next Mo., but I'd be happy to continue our conversation and help with resolving any issues.
