Darmowe kontrolki DevExpress.XtraEditors

Witam,

Czy orientował się ktoś w sprawie darmowej licencji zestawu kontrolek WinForms Controls (the XtraEditors Library) i ich komercyjnego wykorzystania? Czy free of charge obejmuje również wykorzystanie komercyjne? Ewentualnie może ktoś polecić jakiś darmowy (lub stosunkowo niedrogi - do 500 złotych) zestaw podstawowych kontrolek WindowsForms?

Dziękuję za informację.

Wiesz, podstawowe kontrolki, kilkadziesiat, masz calkowicie za darmo wewnatrz .Net Framework..

co do DevX - http://www.devexpress.com/Products/Free/WebRegistration60/ twierdzi, ze "your free license" oraz "without royalties or distribution costs", co sugeruje, ze dostajesz na ten zestaw darmowe zezwolenie, oraz ze mozesz je dolaczac ich dllki bezplatnie do swoich aplikacji. niestety, nie dokopalem sie do pelnej tresci licencji darmowej tego zestawu.

krotka piłka: napisz maila do supportu DevX z w/w linkiem oraz pytaniem o darmowa licencje na te 60+ kontrolek i komercyjne aplikacje. odpowiedz dostaniesz na pewno w ciagu kilku dni. po co tutaj pytac, jak mozesz u zrodla?:)

Zgadza się, podstawowy zestaw i to całkiem za darmo mam we Frameworku ;-). Ale zapewne domyśliłeś się, że chodzi mi o podstawowe w znaczeniu "podstawowej funkcjonalności" pomijając rozbudowane kontrolki. Odnośnie supportu DevX-a to napisałem do nich zanim napisałem tu, lecz do dnia dzisiejszego nie otrzymałem odpowiedzi, a czas goni stąd decyzja o popytaniu na różnych forach tematycznych. Pozostaje mi czekać na odpowiedź od DevExp lub pytać dalej.

Pozdrawiam
Marcin

Proponuję, żebyś ściagnał ten pakiet darmowy, zainstalował, użył w aplikacji, a nastepnie przeczytal/skopiowal/wkleil tutaj tresc licencji jaka się ukaże. Nie wiem jak obecnie, ale jak kiedys sie nimi "bawilem", to w wersji 6/7/8(?) przy pierwszym użyciu pojawiało się okno akceptowania licencji trial czy jakiejs tam. Być moze wersja free tez tak ma?

Wygląda na to, że faktycznie można wykorzystywać je komercyjnie. Trzeba tylko uważać, żeby nie udostępnić innych plików niż biblioteki, które są na liście w treści licencji.

Witam,

Dziękuję za zainteresowanie się tematem. Również dokopałem się do treści tej licencji i wygląda na to, że nie powinno być problemów z użyciem biblioteki w projektach komercyjnych. Te kontrolki są tak świetnie zaprojektowane, że aż boje się pomyśleć iż mogą być darmowe do zastosowań komercyjnych, dlatego w obawie o haczyki prawne wysłałem jeszcze kilka zapytań w różne miejsca (w tym do producenta). Póki co zacznę je już wykorzystywać w aktualnie tworzonym projekcie komercyjnym a jeśli będzie trzeba to wyłożę (z bólem bo z bólem) te 2800 zł na licencje komercyjną.

Super:) jeżeli Ci odpowiedza, wklej tutaj odpowiedzi. Kontrolki DevX sa rzeczywiscie o niebo lepsze od "tradycyjnych", zwlaszcza gridy i edytory, wiec jesl mialbys wiecej potwierdzonych informacji - daj znac, to cenna informacja.

i również zacząłem z nich korzystać komercyjnie. Natomiast w sprawie licencji na ich komercyjne wykorzystanie to otrzymałem krótką lecz treściwą odpowiedź od producenta:

Hello,

Thank you for your email,

Yes, you may use the license for commercial use of your applications.
Please don't hesitate to contact me with further questions.
