Will jabaco in the future always free ? or will there be a price tag ?
I like to know this on forehand to consider developing commercial applications with it.
i don't know at the moment. money could push the development process of jabaco - but i would like to offer a solution for all developers (also the poor developers outside the netherlands
) and interested users. maybe - i'll publish a free and a premium version (with features like svn-support) in future. maybe - i'll publish only one version with a favourable price. maybe - it is free for ever with a donate button. there are many possibilities - but currently i couldn't see the best decision ...
i won't upset you. some things that i could say:
- the framework is open source. also in future.
- i'll never claim money from other jabaco-developers (translaters, framework-developers, ...)
- i'll publish very cheap, or free versions in future
- i'll do my best to force the development in a community process to enhance the stability
for all developers: jabaco is ready to use but the opportunities aren't exhausted. you have some possibilities to help this project and get more safeness for yourself. help on the framework. write documentations and samples (system for that will be avail soon). invite a friend. recommend the project to other developers - together we could reach very cool things...
