I’ve removed the main GPL library – the object database. I’ve also decided that I’ve put a load of work (about a year, averaging of 3 hours a day) into this so will sell it for a few quid.
I’ve also decided, however, to open-source the web framework it’s built on. It has a few nice things built in, like:
– Querystring to model binding,
– Direct object persistence (no faffing about)
– Strongly typed (it aint def varThis, def varThat)
– Can be standalone, and self contained. ship-a-web-app-on-a-cd ability*
– Not much to set up. Can get from download to “Hello mum/world” in 1 minute** and can be capturing information from a webpage to persistence in 5 minutes**
– No autogeneration of code that you then spend more time editing than it would’ve done to make it in the first place
– Object sync between instances
* Optionally ship Java6 with the CD
** Provided you’ve already got eclipse installed
