[Fwd: Fw: TN5250J License]

Hello all

Not sure what is going on but I have received about 10 different 
Licensing offers over the last three months.  These range from license 
changes to actually buying the code base for monetary gains.

I have not done that because I wanted to keep things open but am coming 
to a cross roads with the licensing and myself not having time or access 
to develop on the project right now.  Although the project I am bidding 
on is in it's final stages and hopefully will be approved early next 
year which will give me access again for a while.  Well besides all of 
that let me get on with the question.  Also other persons on the list 
offered develpment access as well but had to decline as I do not have 
the time right now.  Thanks for the offers.

A couple of years ago we had an open discussion on this list for a 
license change and really nothing came of it.  I had thought of going to 
an apache license instead of LGPL with the winning argument of Apache 
license would bring in more corporate programmers and interest.  Well 
that would be maybe it would.

The reason for bringing all this up is that after two years a larger 
company has come back and is ready to discuss this licensing again. 

This would go along the same lines as the LGPL licensing that I just 
sent about the C# and involves the same people and companies. 

I would like to know your opinions on this.

The company is Help/Systems, Inc and they want to use the emulator part 
in there Robot product(s).

Regards

Kenneth

Kenneth,

We've exchanged emails a few times regarding Help/Systems licensing
TN5250J.  We are getting near the QA phase of the project that would use
TN5250J.  It has been a very large project (almost 3 years) and we are now
ready to finalize an agreement regaurding the license.  Please let me know
if you are still interested in this and what the terms are.  You mentioned
in a prior email that you were considering the Apache license, which would
be great for us.  Thank you.

Kenneth,

I'm wondering if you are still interested in providing us with a commercial
license of TN5250J.   Please let me know if this is something you are or
are not interested in.  I have sent you a couple emails recently and have
not heard back.  I wondering if you are even getting my emails, or if your
replies are getting blocked by our SPAM blocker.  Just in case, can you
please do a reply all to this email?  I have copied my home email address
so if your reply is getting blocked here at work, hopefully I will get it
at home.  Thank You.
