Have a look at http://www.wykobi.com/license.html There is two options to use the code: a) GPL V2 b) commerical license So just like qt (there are other examples) the code is dual licensed. > I take the code of what he calls the "non > commercial version".

I can sell you SAGE for 1 million dollar per seat, but I am still obliged by the GPL to provide the sources to you at reasonable cost. GPL doesn't imply non-commerical. Once the code has been released as GPL there cannot be restrictions on how to use it (as long as you abide the GPL), but that doesn't stop you from charging money for you code. The Wykobi people just offer the commercial licensing so that people who want to use their code in commercial code do not have to abide by the GPL. By the rights given to me in the GPL I could sell anybody a support contract for Wykobi even though the Wykobi people might consider that "commerical" - I have obviously no interest in doing that. However way you see it Arash Partow doesn't give a very favorable impression. Personally attacking William (the bit about tenure and the remark about understanding the GPL) was uncalled for. > Nobody can oblige me to read > what he says in his website, I read the code and the license attached > to the code which is the GPL.
