GigaSmilies and UniSmilies are Merged Now !!!

[Faun]

Hope you guys will get more and more goodies within time and with lots of features and quality.

The Merging of two will definitely be a step forward to more products emerging out soon and with much better support and robustness

And 3 cheers for the application getting a dedicated hosting and Open Source tag for next version.

So have a say in the GigaSmilies Forum and provide your feed back and ideas to make it a happening.

1) Which License?
2) Are the smileys you're using under a compatible license?

Seems you're using CC, please read this http://wiki.creativecommons.org/FAQ#...or_software.3F

See http://www.opensource.org to know of open source licenses approved by OSI.

We are currently evaluating the correct licence which will suite the products. And yes we will take a note of smilies licence too

[Gigacore]

yeah.. we will make sure that all the smilies are free and not copyrighted.

[mehulved]

Just free doesn't do. compatible licenses is the keyword here.
eg. you are releasing the software under BSD License but the smileys are under CC-SA-NC then your licenses are incompatible as BSD license allows others to make commercial products but the CC-SA-NC doesn't allow one to do the same.

can it be like a portion of the program be made free and smilies are kept at their corresponding license.

[mehulved]

I doubt it as it's a full product.
A way around would be a plugin like architecture, where there will just be a base template but no smileys or smileys under a compatible license. Extra smileys can be added easily by the users. Those can be under any license, including closed source license.

[Gigacore]

oh.. thats a very good info mehul.. thanks

Actually from next version, smilies will not be embedded into the app, but will be stored seperately , and new smilies can be added externally, just like the plugin you told about.

hey, something off-topic here...
the spellings of 'sponsors' is wrong on your site. It reads sponsers there. Ignore this if it is intentional but it(wrong spellings) doesnt look good on such a nice site

[naveen_reloaded]

Nice move guys. All the very best

[praka123]

Hope the modularized version of gigasmilies+unismilies hit both Linux &win platform ASAP

Hi
I found this old thread in my Subscriptions. Was doing a clean up. Have you wrapped up your project?
