Re: Setup HTTP Server Config File (formerly WEB400 Digest, Vol 8, Issue 281)

There are conditions in the GPLv3, which PowerEXT is released under, that

are not business friendly.

Agreed, and that is exactly why RPGUI (http://mowyourlawn.com/rpgui.html)
uses an LGPL which gives more liberty, though not as much as MIT. It's not
that I dislike somebody trying to make a profit off their open source (I
actually think that is a good idea because then that project stands a chance
of surviving), but it is more the ambiguity of GPLv3 and it's implementation
by the likes of ExtJS where you can't seemingly get a straight answer out of
them concerning what would constitute infringement.

On the note of open source dual-license RPG, one company that has done it
much better than others is CNXCorp with their Valence product. They have a
community edition that is free and then a paid for edition which costs per
developer. They do a good job of exhausting all the possible questions you
could have concerning their licensing at the following URL:
http://cnxcorp.com/valence/faqs/#how-changed. After reading all of those
questions/answers I have a much better idea of exactly how they operate and
WHY they approached it they way they did.

Yeah I realized my mistake as soon as I saw my message come through... :P

What is the license cost of PowerEXT? Or did you open source your

developed

application to get around licensing?

I am only using PowerEXT Core which is MIT licensed. I've been avoiding
PowerEXT due to the GPLv3 license. I just wanted some of the procedures he
has in PowerEXT Core. Thanks for bringing this up to highlight the
difference. I am recommending PowerEXT Core ONLY. There are conditions in
the GPLv3, which PowerEXT is released under, that are not business
friendly. The MIT license; however, does not have the same restrictions.

I have actually been working on my own library that is very specific to our
company and PowerEXT Core made it a little easier.

There's also http://powerext.com/ that is based on CGIDEV2 but he has
added
a several useful procedures. I am currently using PowerEXT core for a
project and have been pretty impressed.
