There are no practical plans for any of this - but there could be cases where if you want to query endpoints that cost us lots of bandwidth to deliver a lot, we'd ask you to pay for that. But we have no such end points today, and no such setup planned. I just wanted to flag that there is no guarantee that all access will be free for ever - just trying to manage expectations, in case we run into something that is too expensive for us to deliver for free, but that we could keep if developers were willing to pay.

Will this be used to cover access to the SDE? And if so, what would be the status of people who distribute converted copies there of, in other formats? (such as mysql, sqlite, and so on)
SDE, access to the current API, and all other dev resources will be freely available, and not require the Dev License. Only CREST usage and Single Sign On usage will require the license.

I have developed for numerous third party products in the past and I have *never* been required to sign an agreeement which allows a third party access to my source code, especially in such a way that is worded to be deliberatly open ended. There is no mention of disclosure agreements, retention, filtering or limitation of access.
This is not something I could in good faith suggest any developer accept, especially if they're dealing with things such as online services and centralised databases.
Also, does this prevent charging monthly fees for things such as CREST-integrated KBs running tasks such as as auto-reimbursement?
I will bring the source code concern to our legal counsel, to get a clarification of what the intention is here.
As the license currently stands, this would prevent you from charging for such a kill-board - but we are very interested in you sending exactly such cases to [email protected], so that we can look at how the license could evolve to support cases that are good for the community, and not a problem for us legally. Having concrete examples helps us a lot in this.

I'm monitoring all the questions in this thread, and will work with our legal counsel to come back with answers after the holidays. So far the three main topics we need to clarify/address is how and what you can charge for, the source code access question, and the bits about hiring, but I'll also make sure we answer other questions that have come up. Thanks for your feedback and input so far!

Just a note to say that work is in progress to address many comments and issues from this thread - and also that DUST joining Tranquility today means CREST is now in full production - which is a big big technical step on the way to making it available to 3rd party developers. (CREST is how DUST clients communicates with Tranquility)
More soon!
