Re: IBM proposes EGL go open source; Tuesday June 29 at 10AM Eastern, 7AM Pacific -- WEB400

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

We will know that EGL is open source to your satisfaction (and mine also)
once IBM releases a spec of it and other implementations start surfacing
from entities other than IBM. This would be similar to how JSF works,
though maybe not entirely similar (I am not entirely versed in how IBM setup
the EGL syntax and interfaces to know if alternate implementations are
supported).

I'm willing to consider that open source EGL is really a good thing for
IBMi developers.

I'm just not convinced (yet) that open source EGL is a complete,
stand-alone package. I don't want to get wrapped up in open source EGL, then
discover I really need to get the licensed version of EGL tools in order to
run a business with EGL. I need to feel confident that open source EGL is
more than bait for the licensed version.
