Hi community,<br>
<br>
as I sensed some sentiments about our dual license model in the
recent past I have tried to clarify this by way of the following
text at [1]:<br>
<br>
<p>
<i><strong>Contributions</strong></i><i> to the rasdaman community
code come from a worldwide team of collaborators. Notably, a
significant extent of the fixes and new functionality is coming
from rasdaman GmbH (such as WMS recently). </i><i><strong>All
community contributions submitted are made available in
rasdaman community immediately after checking them for
correctness and coherence (eg, with the code guide); no
contribution whatsoever goes into rasdaman enterprise first</strong></i><i>.
The only action the company undertakes is to keep both rasdaman
variants in sync by merging the rasdaman community tree into
rasdaman enterprise, which typically occurs upon release of
versions so as to keep both in sync. Aside from that, rasdaman
enterprise is developed exclusively by the company and does not
contain any community code that rasdaman community does not
contain. So rest assured that your valuable contributions are to
the benefit of the worldwide user community.
</i></p>
Is this understandable? Anything missing?<br>
<br>
All comments are most welcome.<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
Peter<br>
