I'm very excited to see this. I've been using KeePass2 on Linux and it's a pain to sync with my Android phone. I tried setting up OwnCloud to share the key file but even using that causes too much friction for me to be willing to frequently sync.
In your FAQ you say:
> "What do I get when I fund you?
Once the software is ready, you will get unlock codes for the mobile versions for the amount you funded. As a special appreciation for being an early customer, these codes not expire and will unlock the mobile versions for life."
But you don't specify a price for the mobile versions. Also, will the mobile versions be GPL'ed?
Very happy to see you take Bitcoin as a funding option.
- geertj 13y agoHi, it's mentioned in the FAQ, little bit further down. The mobile versions will be somewhere between $5 and $10. As a perk for funding Bluepass, whatever the price turns out to be, your version will include unlimited free upgrades. The source of the mobile versions will be available, but for the success of a project, a recurring revenue stream is required to maintain them. The mobile platforms change a lot, and there are not many examples of open source projects that can successfully provide productized versions for these mass market consumer platforms. That is why I cannot commit at this point that the license will allow redistribution on an app store. This means it would not be an OSI style license.
- icebraining 13y agoWell, if you licensed the sources under the GPL, you could still prevent redistribution on iOS (though not Android), since the GPL is incompatible with Apple's ToS. As the copyright holder, that wouldn't affect you, of course, since you don't need a license to distribute the software yourself.
