qWikiOffice Web Desktop 的License历程

目前的License是：

 

License

The qWikiOffice Desktop Environment is going to be released with the following licensing options.

 

Commercial License

More information to come...

 

Open Source License

The qWikiOffice Desktop is also available under the terms of the GNU GPL license.

 

另有一篇博客文章：

 

My plan for licensing is as follows.

1. Release the qWikiOffice Desktop (basic), which can be viewed through the Demo link, under the Open Source LGPL 3.0 license.
2. Release the qWikiOffice Desktop (advanced) under a commercial license.

Whats the difference between the 2 desktops? The qWikiOffice Desktop (basic) does not have the OS type features that the advanced desktop will have.

Some features the advanced desktop will have additional to what you see in the demo are as follows.

1. An application installer, which will register all apps/module into the database.
2. Advanced grouping, which will allow member access to apps/modules and features with the apps/modules.
3. A common connection object that apps/modules will use for server communication.
4. One js-all (dynamic) file to include.
5. Css files included dynamically.

I’ll do a full write up of version features in another post.

 

看样子作者是想把qWikiOffice Web Desktop做成两个版本基础版和高级版，指希望其商业版/高级版的授权费用不是太高。

 

但是后来又发布了另一片博文：

 

License Decision

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

 

After the two previous posts on this subject and the comments recieved I have come to a final conclusion.

 

The qWikiOffice desktop will be dual licensed like ExtJS, and will be identical under both.  No separate commercial version.

 

I have spent many hours on this desktop and plan to keep on working on it no matter who else is interested.  I began working on it because I needed an online desktop environment for apps I have planned, and plan to continue.

 

Of course thanks goes to ExtJS for their original desktop demo that I started adding to months ago.

I will hopefully be posting an updated zip file to the download page soon (maybe this coming weekend).  I’m still making database and code changes.

可以确定的是，将只有一个版本，License将和extjs的相同，分为开源版和商业版。
