Radeox Wiki Render Engine future not looking good
Published June 27th, 2007 in GeneralJust to let you know: Since my departure from my old employer three months ago I’ve tried to get the Radeox rights for further development through several different channels. But no final decision from any channel. As it currently looks I won’t get the rights for future developements which is quite sad. I will still try till the end of June and then see what other paths are open to me. Do people still want to use Radeox?
Yes, I am planning to use Radeox as the wiki render engine in my own project. Actually I used it before and I am quite happy with it.
Thanks for the Feedback, good to hear, I’ll do my best.
What’s the license already? If you’re not allowed to work on it anymore, fork it!
Hi Guillaume, nice to see you here.
Forking is the last option, I would like to somehow stay in good terms with the people and don’t fork the project which also would confuse users. Forking will prevent some options in the future (like licening to another-yet-to-come-best-developer-license).
As the license is Apache, the relicensing topic is no problem currently, Apache is liberal enough for most people.
Isn’t Radeox at Codehaus under a BSD license?
Have used and am using Radeox. Me like it and want to use it again, if needs comes up. Great tool in the box :-)
Why would someone keep you from working on it? Looks like it has moved to codehaus now. Can we not just contribute or are contributions not accepted?
Yes there is a repo at codehaus, and the project, but the rights are still with my employer. We couldn’t agree to transfer the rights back then.
I got some positive feedback, so the situation looks better, I hope for a positive ending :-)
I hope you make it! I’m using Radeox in a project - it’s cool!
@Burkhard: Danke
