Dear all, As Location GE owner (data chapter), I have to say that the shareware model will not work for us, since our plans for exploitation are either (as found in catalogue): - sell software licences for each platform being deployed or - establish bilateral agreements with companies interested to develop applications/services based on our asset. I understand that a global licensing model would be ideal, but I hope that there will be a place for other models like ours.

As you may know, our current intentions are to release our Intel GE implementations open source. Open sourcing procedures and implications are comprehended across our internal business processes and relevant business groups. I hope whatever solution we come up with – if for example it is shareware as a minimum - will not affect GE implementations that are being open-sourced. Kind regards, - John.

Not sure if I fully understand the discussion, but would it be possible to make the shareware model something like the minimum? In the sense that all GE implementations can be used at least until the that deadline? Allowing an extended usage period, implementing/not implementing the deadline in the code, open sourcing, etc., would still be a matter of the GE implementation? In that case projects using the GEs can be sure that at least until this and that time they can use whatever GE they are interested in.

On the tech side: what about small HW that do not have a local knowledge of time/date or on which, time/date can be user-modified??? Anyway, adding a duration limitation inside a GE you are giving the source code for is worthless (same for any protection scheme of course) and not giving 100% of the GE source code will be a violation of the GPL (or equivalent) licenses (I assume everybody is using open source inside its GE ???). Maybe a centralized license manage could help ?

People will have to download a new version when the first one ends up. Regarding the large number of instances you expect typically before the 2nd release, and then before the 3rd release? For the last 2 years of the program I think it could be completely different, of course. But anyway, I think that if some simple developers succeed to manage sharewares in this way, it should not be impossible for Fi-Ware and the companies involved to do it also.

The shareware model could be ok BUT it is not easily applicable to some of the GEs. Mainly for GEs that will be on the “terminal side” (IoT GEs, I2ND GEs …). These GEs are expected to be instantiated in large volumes (they are parts of terminals) and having to manage licenses for such items will be a nightmare. Having to “control” that these items have been legitimately licensed will even be worse, we might have to develop code dedicated to checking that an item is properly licensed, this verification code would have to be developed using technologies found in content management (for example, video game copy protection) that might be so complex they actually will be more expensive to implement than the piece of code they will protect. Maybe this “shareware licensing scheme” might become a new GE by itself ?? (if the “terminal-side” SW is easy to port / implement) … On top of that, we (partners) will have to commercially manage these licenses. This means we must have a dedicated team granting licenses numbers to others and collecting money out of that. Who amongst the partners have such a group in its company???

I could interpret that as it is not a crucial point or nobody would really try to implement a fi-ware instance for 3rd parties which are not involved in the FI PPP. Or maybe some of you prefer also spend lots of time with lawyers to solve the FRAND issues with all GE owners… Maybe I should an email requesting for an free open source from all GE owners to have more feedback.

The benefit for the GE users is indeed a strong argument for taking that road. As a statement on the license is due before the review next week, it would be good if a decision on this issue could be made as soon as possible. How was the resonance in Seville?

This type of negotiation would first take lots of time and second does not support a business model approach for a Fi-Ware instance because you cannot define your price before to close all negotiations with each GE owner. The other approach is first to avoid any legal trouble trying to change FI PPP approach and opening GE use to 3rd parties which will not sign the Collaboration Agreement. I fully understand that our legal process are not the same in each company but I expect that what I propose could have the lower legal impact. What is a shareware approach? Two specific issues with a software: first you can limit the set of features till user who downloads your software pay for it, second you can put a deadline after which the software will not be available on your computer (another way is to ask for a license number, so as a registered member you can install the software and the licence give you a deadline) From a technical point of view, and because we propose innovative service for Future Internet (at least I expect so for all GEs ;-) ) it is not relevant to limit the features you can use when you download and use a GE. But it is very easy to put a deadline inside the code to be sure for example that an user will have to update the GE with a new release (typically release 2 end of April and then 3rd release). We can also follow how many times a GE Reference Instance is really downloaded and if it is successful. This approach could support for all GE owner a business model approach analyzing what is the concrete value users will be able to identify using the GE. In this approach we do not have to ask for money also, from my point of view, to avoid any financial process. In this approach, we do not have also to provide a commercial support from our companies for GE RI because we all know that it is very difficult to put in place and we have to demonstrate the ROI for each of them before. This shareware approach should not have a strong legal impact because each of us has not to provide some source code and will not decide any commercial support which could involve the company in legal matters. Your feedback is welcome and expected and at least Orange expects to deliver its own GE RI in this way to support a strong launch new ecosystems.
