Mac Forum / Programming / CodeWarrior / August 2005Do you know which Open Source license will be used??
If not, can you post it when you do know? > If not, can you post it when you do know? It's not known at this point what will be used. But so far, customer suggestions have indicated that the BSD license is most acceptable. The decision-makers know this, so hopefully that will be what is eventually used. But still, the decision isn't made yet, and it could very well be some other license may be chosen. It's too early to tell. >If not, can you post it when you do know? We had the request to adapt the BSD style. I don't know much about this open source license models but it seemed to get a good round of apploause at MacHack.

And I suppose another good question are you planning on modifying the CW 9 license or making license changes only for CW 10 users? > And I suppose another good question are you planning on modifying the > CW 9 license or making license changes only for CW 10 users? I don't think we planned to change the version 9 license. What exactly do you have in mind here? I believe the current EULA does not permit us to use PP source code and compile it with gcc. There is a separate thread regarding this: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.mac.programmer.codewarrior/browse_frm/th read/8163c855b7c3ee75/90bc254a1473ffe0?q=khoyt&rnum=1&hl=en#90bc254a1473ffe0 Part of the ongoing discussion was that PP may be open sourced or the EULA changed to allow us to use PP and gcc so we get to a Universal Binary GUI based upon PP. Sounds like the Open Source approach for PP is being seriously looked at. If this happens, what version(s) of PP can we expect to be Open Sourced? Can we expect the license for CW 9.x to be modified so PP is Open Source or should we expect CW 10 to have PP Open Source? > I believe the current EULA does not permit us to use PP source code and > compile it with gcc.

I don't think a decision has been made about that yet. I think that PP will be open sourced and you will be able to build apps with it using CW or Xcode or whatever else you want to use. Even if this just applies to Pro 10, it has already been announced that version 10 will most likely be sold at a much cheaper price point than Pro 9. |
