A Moment in quiet:
Konfabulator is a great development tool. I can quickly generate widgets that have quite a bit of functionality using a language and toolkit that I'm comfortable with: Javascript and XML. But the licensing is awful. As a developer I have no way to allow my users to use my widgets free of charge. The Konfabulator engine costs money, same cost for developer versus end user. I've created something far more useful than the tool itself is for the end user, but the end user is forced to pay for the same development tools as I am. I think Konfabulator as an application platform should be free and licenses for development should cost money. That way I can control my code.
Currently there doesn't appear to be a way to do this. But the Konfabulator engine is small, and could be included in developed widgets. That's just my two cents.
What does this mean to YOU, the end user. Well 1. I don't expect you to pay for Konfabulator in order to use my widget. Currently there's no legal way for me to reach a compromise. so 2. Let's work together to find a way around Konfabulator's fee. And no, sending me a serial number isn't going to help. I want a legitamate solution that I can post on this website.
