The business model of Eskimo
We decided to release Eskimo as a fully free library under LGPL license. For more info : http://blog.e-skimo.com/post/13114065911/eskimo-is-now-totally-free
Eskimo 1.0 will be out in a few days. It is ready for prime time as we have defined our business model.
Eskimo will stay free for applications licensed under GPL or developed by a solo developer. In all other cases, Eskimo 1.0 will be available through a commercial license.
The commercial license works as an annual subscription per application using Eskimo which includes:
Right of use (without any restrictions about how many developers are using it)Corrective maintenanceNew releases3 hours of technical support (by phone or email)
The price is defined regarding the number of components used by your application:
1 to 3 components: 1 500 Euros per year4 to 10 components: 3 000 Euros per yearMore than 10 components: 5000 Euros per year
Please note that we are now working very closely with Adobe to ensure that Eskimo components and Flex mobile components are totally complementarity.
