For the most part this web site is open source
and information is provided as is for free.
All software is planned to be available on a
trust basis for developers to learn from and
use. The only restrictions are use for commercial
purposes.
However in order to make the project commercially
feasible there will be some kind of licencing
structure. The exact structure of this I have
yet to decide on but so far my thoughts are:
No Licence
This is for all the unregistered users. Full
use of web site, articles, published code, no
access to support, no authority to use any downloaded
software for commerical uses.
Member Level
This will be the basic registered user at no
cost. You would receive all the above benefits
plus read only rights to support databases,
documentation etc
Professional Level
This level is aimed at the professional Domino
Web Developer at a cost of perhaps £50
a year. Will provide all the above plus bug
reporting, rights to develop software using
the framework for commercial purposes (a corporate
licence will be required by receiving company).
Includes all software updates, patches as they
are released.
Corporate Level
This level is aimed at development departments,
commercial companies wishing to use either the
development toolkits to develop domino web applications
or to run applications written by third party
companies for use with the framework. This level
basically licences the server side components
and will be available on a per server or a per
site basis. The estimated cost will be 490 uk
sterling per server.
