Both winswitch and xpra are licensed under the GPL (GPL2+ for xpra, GPL3 for winswitch) Are you sure that you need a commercial license for what you are doing? IANAL and most of this is open to interpretation, but unless you are modifying and re-distributing the code, chances are that you don't need one. If you would like to have either projects re-licensed under a different license: * xpra has had a few contributors, you would need to contact and get an agreement from all of them (I believe all the copyright holders can be contacted, whether they would agree with your plans is a different issue) * I hold all the copyrights for winswitch, so this could be arranged more easily > This due to oss contamination and export restrictions. Again, without further details, it is difficult to say what, if anything, would apply here. AFAIK, running the software does not "contaminate" anything. As for export restrictions, I'm not sure if / how licensing could change the legal status.
