Frans,

I am working on a project for http://www.developers.ie and have done some work using LLBLGen to generate the data layer. I gave the project source code to another developer to integrate my work into the main project and he said there was a licensing issue...

Is this right? I thought the license was only for the code generator, not the generated code?

Can you let me know what's what

Thanks,

Marcus

The runtime libraries in compiled form are royalty free, as well as the generated code. So if you pass on your generated code and the runtime libraries in compiled form, that's ok. Don't spread the ORMSupport classes sourcecode nor the designer. But that's pretty obvious

This is what I understood... mmm, I don't know what the other developers was talking about then!

I'd like to hear those concerns too If you could get them as far as describing them, I'd be happy to answer them

I know this is an old thread, and I'm pretty sure it answers my question... BUT... Let's say I'm creating an "open source" application. I just want other programmers to code against the compiled DAL and compiled support assemblies. That's okay, right?

I think I know the answer, but better safe than sorry.

Yes, the generated code and runtimes are royalty free. To use the designer and code generator you need a license.
