[Tn5250j-general] [Fwd: Fw: TN5250J License]

[Kenneth Pouncey]

Hello all Not sure what is going on but I have received about 10 different Licensing offers over the last three months.  These range from license changes to actually buying the code base for monetary gains. I have not done that because I wanted to keep things open but am coming to a cross roads with the licensing and myself not having time or access to develop on the project right now.  Although the project I am bidding on is in it's final stages and hopefully will be approved early next year which will give me access again for a while.  Well besides all of that let me get on with the question.  Also other persons on the list offered develpment access as well but had to decline as I do not have the time right now.  Thanks for the offers. A couple of years ago we had an open discussion on this list for a license change and really nothing came of it.  I had thought of going to an apache license instead of LGPL with the winning argument of Apache license would bring in more corporate programmers and interest.  Well that would be maybe it would. The reason for bringing all this up is that after two years a larger company has come back and is ready to discuss this licensing again.  This would go along the same lines as the LGPL licensing that I just sent about the C# and involves the same people and companies.  I would like to know your opinions on this. The company is Help/Systems, Inc and they want to use the emulator part in there Robot product(s).

We are getting near the QA phase of the project that would use TN5250J. It has been a very large project (almost 3 years) and we are now ready to finalize an agreement regaurding the license. Please let me know if you are still interested in this and what the terms are. You mentioned in a prior email that you were considering the Apache license, which would be great for us. Thank you.
