Well as far as I know Fabric Engine protects there custormers by giving them the complete code in certain cases like:
-) FE gets bought by someone --> sourcecode is avaible to client -) FE stops developement --> sourcecode is avaible to client You don't have to have any trust, FE will give you a signed agreement that you will have access to the code if something gamechanging happens to there company. If that wouldn't be the case customers like MPC wouldn't have bought it and wouldn't build there tools with it. Actually I don't really get the discussion about this. And I am 100% sure that if a company would seriously think about building a DCC on fabric, Paul and his guys would figure a way out to make this reasonable. 2014-12-13 0:10 GMT+01:00 Eugene Flormata <[email protected]>: > *"- *we are open to creating a consortium and finding ways to open-source > work done there.
