Description Maria Teresa Delgado

2019-12-09 16:52:00 EST

We need to petition the EMO Executive Director and/or the Eclipse Board of Directors in order to implement this non-standard licensing scheme.

Project Lead(s), we need text that concisely describes the project and the motivation for needing the alternative licensing scheme. A couple of paragraphs of text is generally sufficient for these purposes.

Please start with a one or two sentence executive summary of the project, and then describe why the project needs to be licensed in this manner. Please avoid providing technical detail; a two or three sentence executive summary will suffice for each of these paragraphs.

Dear Maria-Teresa,

   Below the motivations for dual-licensing.

------------
zenoh provides a stack that unifies data in motion, data in-use and data at rest. The rational for requesting dual licensing EPL and APL is that in the communication business there are several end-user companies that either require or have a strong bias toward API. Supporting the dual-licensing scheme would remove a non-technical adoption barrier in some of these institutions.
------------

Please let me know if this is fine for you and whether I need to add this to the project proposal.

Thanks in advance.

Take Care,
   Angelo
