ascii_field: does it entail forbidding redistribution and republication ?
trinque: don't various lisp shops sell licenses but provide source?
ascii_field: this was quite common at one point.
trinque: so, that.
ascii_field: mostly died out because NOBODY BUYS
trinque: if the market doesn't want nice things they don't exist; that is a cultural problem
ascii_field: and they did not 'sell the product', this is a mistaken perception, they sold ~support contracts~
ascii_field: with serious commitment on both sides of the signing table.

jurov: kakobrekla: why? f.mpif did trade last month
ascii_field: trinque: the serious commitment thing existed when there was a population of serious people doing serious things with one another, supported by an actual economy with serious money circulating
trinque: certainly.
ascii_field: incidentally, afaik the last lisp co. to actually offer the source code this way was lispworks,
kakobrekla: jurov .ws is down
ascii_field: which was acquired by xanalys, a usg surveillanceatronics co.
ascii_field: who, likely, were simply tired of paying royalties on the runtime (yes!)
ascii_field: and decided to simply devour the tool vendor
ascii_field: aaaactually now that i recall it was franz who charged royalties
ascii_field: not lispworks
trinque: still alive eh?
ascii_field: but it is conceivable that xanalys was tired of paying for dev runtimes, which were expensive
ascii_field: the concept of ~paying for~ a programming system is - like it or not - unpalatable to most folks, incl. what remains of 'serious business'
trinque: if lispworks was in such a weak position that one client could purchase them in this manner, good for both parties.
ascii_field: my point was that it was in a weak position ~for a reason~
phf: re "sell services give away code", clozure associates (ccl people) recently laid off a bunch of their devs. including such heavyweights as rme and gbyers. presumably because like ascii said, nobody's buying
trinque: this is not a problem that can be solved on the end of a lispworks
ascii_field: even microshit gives away their compiler today
phf: note that ccl is used internally by google now, after they acquired ITA. only way to get money out of goog is presumably acquihire
ascii_field: trinque: back to openbsd, would you personally be willing to use an os with nonpublic source ?
ascii_field: i would not.
trinque: I would run something with source disclosed to me and those in my WoT
trinque: and don't care about public
ascii_field: trinque: my understanding is that qnx license includes (for a serious bag of dough) the source.
ascii_field: go, buy.

trinque: Access to QNX source code is free, but commercial deployments of QNX Neutrino runtime components still require royalties, and commercial developers will continue to pay for QNX Momentics® development seats. However, noncommercial developers, academic faculty members, and qualified partners will be given access to QNX development tools and runtime products at no charge.
phf: franz and lispworks both do source disclosure. i'm pretty sure the only way franz survives is by having ridiculously low overheads, combined with aggressive licensing policy about their technology, some of which doesn't have any equivalents in the open market.
trinque: aside from the WoT aspect this is exactly what I proposed
trinque: and how is qnx doing financially?
