Re: powerEXT - Clarifications from the author

[Aaron Bartell <aaronbartell@xxxxxxxxx>]

That's a real bummer in my mind because in reality that means nobody can
really use it in the traditional sense of open source (i.e. my Ubuntu
operating system).  Who could build any amount of in-house application and
also have the time AND ability to make it open source - just seems silly to
me.  I would be curious to know if ANYBODY has actually done this and are
probably instead hoping ExtJS doesn't "lawyer up".

Not to mention the fact that the more I read about ExtJS the more I am
steering clear of them just because they don't seem to all be on the same
page internally concerning licensing - seems like a lawsuit waiting to
happen.

Here's another URL I just got done reading:
