hmm... wow yes Thanks for pointing this out :-)
This could really change the picture
On rebol.com it says:
1. "View/Pro extends View with encryption (RSA, DH, DSA, AES, Rijndael, and
Blowfish), shell access (for executing other programs and shell commands),
and dynamic library access (direct from REBOL)."
2. "REBOL/View/Pro => Price: US$49.00 for non-commercial use."
3. "Freely redistributable. Use it on as many machines as you like. Post it
to your web site, send it as email, distribute it on CD-ROM, or give it to
friends on floppy disk."
Do you undertand that to mean: "one-time View/Pro purchase per user per
Operating System, who is then free to re-distribute [as in free Linux ] FOR
NON-COMMERCIAL USE"?
I do :-)
$50 per Operating System seems great value, if it helps RT and broadly
propagates REBOL.
QA: Do you know any problems running View/Pro on a remote Linux server when
Xll is not running?
{/etc/inittab has id:3:initdefault:}
QB: Will /View image features run when Xll is not?
Use: people upload files to Apache/Rugby server /View creates thumbnails,
conversions etc.. I've just been exploring ImageMagick. Now with /Pro
shell+library access I can use that too :-)
Obviously I won't enjoy most View features, but encryption, shells,
libraries and server-side image processing would be very useful.
