Re: FastCGI licensing contact

Hats off to Saju for asking though! :)
I did the same thing - with FreePascal - I liked it so much - and saw that
making programs with it was powerful - I asked the group and they encouraged
me to go ahead - just don't SELL the compiler itself - after all its free -
but - my work - my compiled binaries - "go for it" was the word.

Just off hand, but I don't see why you need them to endorse your product?

Provided you follow the public specification, it shouldn't matter.

If your breaking the devkit API thats one thing, and not really a big
deal. APIs vary. My company wrote our own based off the specification
thats nothing like the devkit API.

We didn't ask for anyones endorsement, as I'm sure the various perl,
python, PHP, .Net, C#, Delphi, etc kits didn't.

If your breaking the specification then you break compatibility with all
existing web servers, which in my opinion would make the kit useless?
