Re: 4d_tech Digest, Vol 17, Issue 26

Thomas,

> There is realistic, and then there is the law. 

I completely agree and I always like to stay on the right side of the law.
If that means not using the license I have paid for because it would be in
contravention of the law then that is what I would have to do.

I was simply looking for some clarity from 4D as to their intent.  As you
say there is the law and there is also the matter of enforceability and
intent.

Taken literally this licence would prohibit email, ftp, saving documents to
remote drives, messaging, CTI, use of Web area to connect to a website (only
local file access) or any other communication to a machine (not the machine
the application is sitting on) unless limited to twice a day. I can think of
very few standalone applications (let alone database application) I have
ever used that would cope with these restrictions.

As I pointed out technically it is the plug-in that is doing the
communication not 4D so it should not be a problem for connecting to
PostgreSQL but what of the native 4D capabilities that this excludes.

Regards,  Dougie
