[Savannah-register-public] [task #4740] Submission of kafeine

[emmanuel incandela]

Follow-up Comment #20, task #4740 (project administration):

Thanks for your detailed answer.

I have no other options than flash to have it platform independant, web
browser compatible,etc...i'm not satified with java applets.

BUT 

The flash interface will not be requested to run kafeine. It is more an addon
that make it "nicer". In fact, it is the View layer that is replaced from the
HTML original one.

It doesn't "link" to kafeine, it rather connect to it, just like an admin
program link to postgres, or via web service API. no "includes" in the code
whatsoever.

As far as i know, a "remote" software is not concerned by the licence
choosen. am i wrong ? 

>>I don't need to discuss here if a BSD/LGPL license could solve this issue,
because the policy of Savannah doesn't allow you that the user needs to
install proprietary software to run your program.

maybe this is still applicable because of what i said earlier ?
if i don't host the addon on savannah, besides ?

best regards,

emmanuel

by the way: 

- I've seen a bunch of projects that has a GPL version  and a "professional"
version wich is proprietary. How can it be possible ? i though the GPL was
"viral".

- As kafeine is a tool for making other application(code generation), does it
mean that the application needs to be GPL too ? i haven't thought that through
to be honest.:(
