Open source, closed source, and the value of code

[Roger Guay]

This doesn’t capture my part in this conversation. Personally, I am unconcerned about protecting my code/projects and I’m very happy to publish using the GPL license. But . . . BIG BUT . . . Apple won’t accept GPL, and I cannot afford the ever increasing price of the commercial license as a hobbyist. OTOH, I appear to be in a very small minority, so I’m done here!

Thanks and cheers,

Roger

I’m hoping we can steer it back because such a discussion does the platform and the generous terms with which we can use it a disservice. The simple answer to all these issues is to use Community if you want to distribute under the GPL and use Indy or above if you want to distribute under any license you choose. If you aren’t sure it probably means you need Indy.
