Re: Mango M2M and xAP]

["mlohbihler" <ml@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the information. Regarding the license, if it is indeed GPL
i unfortunately will not be able to use the code within Mango, since i
am planning to have add-ons and such for which i would charge. If the
developer (Patrick Lidstone, i believe) has not yet decided, then the
LGPL is much more adoption friendly.

Best regards,
m@
