Ibn Faldan	Posted - 2011.06.15 18:35:00 - [1] Edited by: Ibn Faldan on 15/06/2011 18:35:31 I'm curious, who exactly gets left out in the licensing approach? There is a non-commercial AND a commercial license. And its clear that there are many pragmatic people on here that truly lack an understanding of economics. Eve didn't even HAVE to provide an API, did they? Now they want to make some money back on their time spent up front and ongoing on this, and only for those looking to commercialize their works - exactly how does that put YOU out directly? I want to hear some real stories from real people who will really be left out in the cold by this, not those who have a philosophical disagreement with this. Fire away.

Even ad supported sites requiring licenses is pretty fail. All this will do is simply decrease the number of third party apps, and/or eliminate the good free ones. I agree with you Sharon, this license should not extend to ad-supported sites or to those asking for donations. That IS a bit too far. Those who require payment for access to services however, certainly should not have a problem with paying a licensing fee to support the API that feeds them.
Ibn Faldan	Posted - 2011.06.15 18:47:00 - [3] Originally by: Akita T Ad revenue and ISK payments should really, really NOT require a 99$/year license. Everything else, sure, why not. But not those two. +1
