I cannot answer in the specific here, but there was a thread recently on the RB list about developing competing or overlapping products with RB, that its possible to work out a payment plan with REAL. The "nut" of the argument was how they defined a development tool, which to me seemed overly broad at the time and encompassed technologies that had little to do with RB - don't take my word on the specifics though, if its important to you, they have archives. I can't think of a more fitting example of conflict with RB, so my guess is that they worked something out. At Paradigma, we have to have our own definitions as well, though more narrow. Pretty much anything that would duplicate a "Filemaker" type product or a "Filemaker Server" type product is forbidden. On the other hand, we have plenty of customers who make specialized data management tools for vertical markets, integration or BI tools that are totally cool with our license. Dave Simpson wrote an interesting article on making code generation apps with LiveCode for the Omegabundle which really set me thinking about this. There are some companies that might not allow this sort of thing, or they could be very vague about it in their EULA and then try to squeeze you for royalties because it "might" overlap in some way. That's a really bad sign - a sign that their technology is past its prime and they are a bottomfeeding type company. They exist. Beware. They have tiny, evil eyes, hide in the darkness and have funnel like mouths like lampreys...
