Re: Personal Use License Clarifications

Yes, but that's how overriding a method tends to work.  In many cases, it's inconvenient to subclass and change, so instead we take the method as a whole in its original place, and hack in the change we want.

So the question remains, does that count as shipping Cincom code?  It probably has to, which makes packaging a deployed app under this license potentially problematic.

Re: Personal Use License Clarifications

If you’re a bad guy like me, whose long time job has been to sue failing companies, this license is just perfect.


The bottom line as explained by Arden and Alan are very clear and totally sweets me.

The intellectual masturbation of this discussion however shows that there are some gray areas. Please don’t clean them up so well, it is the best protection we can get for Cincom never to sue any of us. LOL.
