No. This is relevant as soon as one wants do something commercial. > As long as everyone sticks to scilab's original license there seems to > be no problem with commercial use No? I read it so that you cant use it for commercial things without talking to inria/enpc. In other sentences they have "non-commercial". They should switch to GPL or some other free license. :) > Please keep the Cc: to the scilab developers in your replies. They call > their software 'free'---see http://www.scilab.org/ . Its more "Free for non-commercial use". -- bye Joerg #debian.de @ OFTC (01:38) <michael> hui, hier wird sonntags gechattet :) (01:39) <maxx> ja, aber nur zwischen 1:35 und 1:45, wenn der Sonntag der 1. im Monat ist :) (01:39) <Sahneschnitter> wasn hier los? activity :)
