Hi, Sorry, I didn't think Gluster was anything other than GPL, nor was I trying to imply you have more than one version ... All I was doing was responding to comments on the list saying "it's not production ready" when you guys are offering it up as a commercial solution.

This is liable to encourage people who are doing a little more than just "playing". Is this not a typical open sourced project model, release a free product and feed the free testing results back into the commercial model? I have nothing against this, this is normal. All I am attempting to do is to point out issues that in the interests of both the open source and commercial users - could do with being addressed. Hi Gareth and all in the list, If you are thinking that we are having two models, a opensource and another commercial, you have mistaken us. We have just one product which is released with GPLv3. The subscription is for the same version. Regards, Amar -- Amar Tumballi Gluster/GlusterFS Hacker [bulde on #gluster/ irc.gnu.org ] http://www.zresearch.com - Commoditizing Super Storage!
