That's a goodbye for anyone wanting to build anything interesting in the future with it. Such a pity. I couldn't find anywhere any kind of "commercial license".
- fifnir 10y agoWhy is it that only commercial applications are interesting ?
- franciscop 10y agoTL;DR, it is NOT that only commercial is interesting; it is that not commercial allowed is really restrictive. I do a lot of Open Source, so I know the troubles associated with GPL and the like. This is a lot more extreme than that. If you were to make a tool based on this a lot of your potential userbase dissapears. Like most of the people. Why? For using it, while I mostly use Open Source, learning/mastering a tool only to discard it and then learn/master a different tool that does the same for a commercial application is a HUGE waste of time. If there was a way (2 licenses) to use this as commercial software then it'd be a different story.
