I absolutely agree and have no problem with that. But building modules
of more or less general interest is only one scenario. Imagine this:

You have some very specialized, proprietary software, and a customer
that uses Magnolia CE. Now the customer would like some kind of
integration with that proprietary software, which you could provide in
form of a Magnolia module. But for some reason you don't want to
provide the source code for that module, or only under the terms of an
NDA.

Then again, you would not distribute the module with Magnolia. Who
needs to haven an enterprise license in this case, the developer
developing the module, the customer using it, both, neither?

All very complicated... I understand that this is not the place to get
legal advice, maybe I should try to find the answers with Magnolia
(the company) directly.

Anyway, thanks everybody for the information and the pointers so far,

Lutz
