Hello, We have been thinking about implementing the NMS API as part of the QPID .Net client. However we are concerned about potential legal issues. It seems to me that the NMS API is very similar to the JMS one but the JMS specification specifically licenses the technology "only for Java".
This is the relevant license, copied directly from the JMS Spec document: "Subject to the terms and conditions of this license, Sun hereby grants you a fully-paid, non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, limited license (without the right to sublicense) under Sun's intellectual property rights to review the Specification internally solely for the purpose of designing and developing your Java applets and applications intended to run on the Java platform. Other than this limited license, you acquire no right, title or interest in or to the Specification or any other Sun intellectual property. The Specification contains the proprietary information of Sun and may only be used in accordance with the license terms set forth herein. This license will terminate immediately without notice from Sun if you fail to comply with any provision of this license. Upon termination or expiration of this license, you must cease use of or destroy the Specification." Does anybody know if this concern has already been raised?
