Hi Yes, that is the case. I've not modified the source code of red5 or the other applications. I've just used flash/zinc/php to run them and get information on their status.
So for what has been said by Luke would seem to indicate that I can redistribute the red5 installer and then specify as that the other applications need to be installed but that they are separate and need to be downloaded and installed as per their documentation. barney -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan Rossi Sent: 06 June 2007 15:09 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Red5] licensing It sounds like quite simply its a flash client packaged with Zinc which uses the red5 app backend and no internal source code touched but a custom app correct ?
