ME: RE: Enhydra: Commercial usage of software downloaded from your site


Hi Aler,

It's unclear which group at MOT you're with, although the iDEN team in
Florida has been actively using kXML since October/November of last year for
MIDlet <-> Servlet communication.  It's terrific to see extended use of kXML
within MOT.

The original contributor of kXML is Stefan Haustein (see CC), and the
release you mention [.81] is available from the author under multiple
licenses.  Depending upon your lawyers at MOT, you may wish to request a
license other than EPL/OPL (which requires that you contribute back changes
to the kXML site), so that you can perform MOT specific extensions in either
open or closed source models without returning them to the community.

If you wish to have license terms other than EPL/OPL, contact Stefan at
haustein@kimo.cs.uni-dortmund.de

If you wish to comply with the license terms and find them acceptable, the
high level requirements of the license are:

1>  ATTRIBUTION:  Place prominently in your online and printed documentation
a copy of the EPL and a pointer back to http://kxml.enhydra.org for source
and binaries.

2>  MODIFICATION:  Contribute back to http://kxml.enhydra.org all changes
you make the source, binary, and documentation

It is probably a good idea to check with Stefan privately regarding the .81
release to determine if there were any updates to the code in future
releases (we're on version 1.12 now) that MOT requires for a stable,
reliable commercial product.

best regards,
Keith

Hello,

We'd like to integrate and distribute the kXML parser (older version
kxml-0081) downloaded from your website, with our product. I'd
appreciate if you could provide me with your licensing terms to do so. I
downloaded the licenses (EPL 1.1 and OPL 1.0) from your website and
would like to know whether there are any additional licenses required
other than these two.

Appreciate your reply.

Thanks,
Aler Krishnan
