You can distribute your code under one of this licences and exclude the agsXMPP library from it. But i don't think this makes sense when your project relies on our SDK.</span><br style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><br style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">I know that it's not easy to find a compatible licence if you want to open your source. We are currently evaluating some other OSI
compatible licences and perhaps distribute it under a dual licence in one of the next releases. But this is not for sure yet.</span><br></div><br>Clearly even he is aware that there is no solution to it. :) <br><br>Thanks again everyone and specially to Michael Bernstein.<br><br>" life is'nt heavy enough,it flies away and floats far above action"<div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-style: italic;"><div><br>Are you sure you want to do that?<br><br>The AGSS license seems non-OSD compliant on it's face, so even if you<br>use an OSI-approved license that can be used in combination with this<br>library, the resulting application will not be open-source.<br><br>Wouldn't it be better to select a different library with an OSD<br>compatible license?<br><br>There is a list of available XMPP libraries
