I think you're misunderstanding how licenses work. Being that wire hole is a conglomerate of a multitude of projects I am required to utilize the most restrictive version of that license.
I believe you're also thoroughly misunderstanding the license terms that are present. The license says that you can utilize it for a commercial settings and in a commercial environment you just cannot resell the product.
This means that an Enterprise can openly use it within their Enterprise they just cannot sell it as a service that they offer.
While this is not the license that I would have chosen for a Greenfield project but at the moment I am at the mercy of the licenses in place for the projects that I am using. Once I replace the UI with a proprietary one everything will be fully open source the way it's intended
- josephcsible 3y agoSorry, everywhere I said "this" there I meant wg-easy, not WireHole. I just fixed it to clarify that. > Once I replace the UI with a proprietary one everything will be fully open source the way it's intended Huh? Proprietary is basically the opposite of open source.
- ranguna 3y agoI'm guessing they meant "in-house".
- byteknight 3y agoApologize for the semantics. By proprietary I mean that I will develop a new UI, have full and whole rights to do with the project that I choose and that would be to fully open source it
- mlfreeman 3y agoI would suggest replacing "proprietary" with "in-house" then.
- byteknight 3y agoSuggest as you wish. It's purely semantic and I've since clarified :)
- cge 3y agoYour license does not seem quite the same as wg-easy's. Wg-easy's states that the allowed uses are "for yourself" or "for a company". Yours states "for personal purposes" or "for a company". As an academic/non-profit researcher who frequently works through my personal devices, I presumably can't use wg-easy in any workplace setting, but presumably can't legally use your software at all.
