You will be able to sell your scripts eventually. I intended to buy scripts for resale but only under my exclusive rights. That is - I buy into the REBOL Royalty agreement and purchase/distribute scripts with my exclusive rights to the software. The only reason I never purchased Encap was that I could not get ALL the clear answers to my questions regarding the agreement and regarding ENCAP. I have looked at the REBOL Royalty agreement - anyone can purchase the agreement and purchase scripts for further sale. However, RT wants 10 percent of all gross profits from the sales. Furthermore, RT has an accounting practice tied up with the agreement that is not corporate friendly. Currently, I'm waiting to see if RT amends the agreement to make it more Reseller friendly and how IOS will impact that agreement. I have yet to hear any further developments on that front - that might be due to the continued development of IOS.

I don't want to sound negative, but what do you need Encap for? Noone will use your script in enterprise if license doesn't allow it. So - what is Encap good for? And after all - you need something to sell. I remember Maarten suggesting forming Rebol e-biz suite. So far, there is very few things which can be actually sold - Rugby, MySQL protocol, XML stuff from Gavin, XML-RPC and maybe a little more. Now go and look at PHP or Python libraries, look what comes for free and shake your ideas once again. Am I dreaming or what? We have few solutions which we can offer Rebol users to replace their Perl/Python/PHP/etc. stuff with, yet you folks think of how to make money of it? I think that that way, we will not really make it .... But if you ask me, if I would be willing to pay, I say - yes, I am crazy enough to spend some money here. If the money is needed to encourage ppl to write scripts, let's just create some system and vote. I will donate: 20USD for PostGressSQL protocol 10 USD for Fast-CGI protocol, both implemented in Rebol level (something along 10USD for faster, bugfree, native library bindings ...) 50 USD for compliant XML, SOAP, UDDI thing. ... maybe I will not even use above features, but potential Rebol e-biz suite would sound much stronger .... ... call me a fanatic now ;-) But now even RT can think of average 100 USD for /Command update * number-of-Commands-sold, and contract someone to do the stuff ... -pekr- > HTH > Ammon > -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes. -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes.
