Unfortunately, their license comes in disagreement with what they posted on kxcommunity.com:
> That's why it now can only be used in a commercial environment for development and proofs of concept.
But license says:
> 1.1. "Commercial Use" means any use of the 32 Bit Kdb+ Software for the User or any third party's financial gain or other economic benefit. Any Beta-testing or production use of a User Application is Commercial Use. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following are not Commercial Uses: (a) use solely for educational or personal purposes; (b) use by a registered charity or licensed educational institution, (c) development of a proof-of-concept application, even in a commercial setting; and (d) any use for which Kx has granted the User written permission.
This makes things confusing: one place they say development is ok, but in license agreement they say it's only "proof-of-concept applications"...
- btown 11y agoTogether I would think they safely indicate an assumed narrow definition of "development" as "only used by the original coder in a non-moneymaking capacity." Which, realistically, is a level of use that wouldn't even come across Kx's radar - if it did, they'd much rather sell you the product than try to shut a potential client down.
