ReyC release 1.0.0

[ThSITC]

Hello group(s),

I'll need now, *until End of April, 2011*, some decisions of whether it
is wanted/needed/desired
to make tey Rey Compiler open source. :-)

I'm currently in Negotiation with HP, Oracle, and IBM Austria, as well.

As I did invest so much time into this effort, I would like some
PAY-BACK  (NET-income).

I do have still *NO Idea* how I can reach this by a simple *open souce*
release.

I did invest a bit of time in investigating DOUBLE Licence approaches,
but still didn't find a way,
where I can OPEN SOURCE my doings, and still can get Licence-Fees for/of
big Companies
using my doings. :-(

Any suggestions?

Thomas.

It´s simple: do a "community edition" that does the basics and is open
source, and an "enterprise version" that is closed source and does
PL/I, Cobol and all the other languages that corporations still use.

Plus, the community open source version would be "as is" without any
commitment of support or reply times, while the "corporate" version
will get fixes from you in a high-priority basis, to your paying
customers.

In short: copy what Oracle and RedHat already do with their open
source software.

Basically you won´t be selling primarily the software, but your
support services to them (HP, IBM, Oracle, etc)

Hello Fernando,
    1.) Many thanks for your (as ever) instant reply, and the focus you did!
    2.) What TYPE of LICENCE sould I *select* for the OPEN SOURCE issue
there on
www.kenei.com, projects ReyC *and* PP ?
    3.) Where can I read about all those OPEN SOURCE Licencing issues?
    4.) I've NOT yet decyphered what kind of Licences Oracle (and
Redhat, or Suse) are using to
make MONEY out of the open Source LINUX Licence, and what the original
LINUX creator
does live from ... :-(

Hence, when you would be more specific of *what shall I do* (???) you
would be
*more than welcome* :-)

Thomas.

PS: Average PP Licence for COBOL, PL/I, and (in autumn 2011) Software
AG's NATURAL
witll be >= 100.000 Euro. OK?
