    Tattoo will absolutely not be a commercial CMS, although it is definitely going to be aimed more at the enterprise level (and is a long ways off). As a result and likely necessity for acceptance, it will most likely be dual-licensed and commercially supported to help mitigate concerns for that market. Same type of model as MySQL, btw.

      Just to be clear, when you reference to the MySQL licence, do you mean that the Tattoo is free for personal use, but not free for developers to use, if they are selling the sites built with Tattoo?

      Because this is the case with MySQL. It’s free to use in noncommercial softwares, but if you’re going to sell your software, you have to buy MySQL licence. I remember that it was something like this with MySQL: If your commercial sofware requires MySQL database, i.e. does not work with any other database like PostgreSQL, DB2, etc., you have to buy the licence. (Correct me if I’m wrong)

        The MySQL license prohibits you from distributing it. You have to download it from their servers I think, or maybe not. At any rate, there will be a totally free (in some form of opensource license) even for developers to use and abuse version, and a there might also be a commercially licensed version with full commercial support. But  there’s a lot of business infrastructure to put into place before we take that step.

          Ok, thanks for clearing that up, even though the answer was just as I expected. laugh Sounds all cool to me and I actually hope that you get that business infrastructure up and running and hopefully eventually get some income out of all this too..

          EDIT: btw, not a lot of logos in the thread... grin

              That’s not a good move Ryan. You just throw a galon of gasoline into the fire, now you just make the whole community curious with Tattoo again, which includes me tongue Heheehee...

                Everyone will get to see it when it’s ready and in the interim get to enjoy a lot of knowledge transfer down into MODx post 0.9.2. smiley
