Thank you. A good read. But it contradicts the article posted by Cédric earlier and attempts to make it seem very simple where the other article says everything but.
http://www.law.washington.edu/lta/swp/law/derivative.html So have I learned anything?
Hi Michael, I do believe you got it right, though. Open Source only benefits the user. Not the developer. So it is your loss and your clients win.
Perhaps. But the real result is that the client will be out more money because I will have to re-invent what was otherwise available in the GPL program. So who really won? And are there no licenses that could allow it to be a win-win rather than lose-win or lose-lose?
You can't lock them in to your software.
The best (and I think only) way to avoid lock-in is to avoid vendors that do such things. I don't like it when vendors do that to me so I try not to do it to others.
Thanks, Michael -- [email protected] mailing list
