Interesting: initially Tisya (the authors of NevyOS) were fanatical about making a closed-source OS based on the Linux kernel. Now they need help with opening it.
If you have suggestions for Tisya, please send them to the Linux-India-General mailing list (mailto:linux-india-general@lists.sourceforge.net). I'll try to ensure that relevant posts go through even if you're subscribed.
Please send plain-text e-mails only -- HTML shall be terminated with extreme prejudice.

Hi all,
Can we discuss a few issues regarding open source licensing of NevyOS?
We are contemplating going Open Source with NevyOS.
Reason: 1. Its time Unix took a break from X. NevyOS is best poised to do that. 2. Its time we gave MS a run for its money on the desktop too. Again, NevyOS is best poised to do that. (because, currently there are over 10 developers world wide developing killer apps for NevyOS, they would like to go open source too).
But, at the same time what could be the alternatives for generating revenues if I have to atleast gain back on the investment?
Could someone be charged if he is deploying NevyOS on a hardware platform of his design? If yes, what sort of a license will we have to put NevyOS under?
Any brain storms on how we can enforce such licenses worldwide?
