CSP Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 (edited) I'm confused about the availability of the source code.I downloaded http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/...3.2.4.1-src.exe and looked around, but I can't seem to find any .c files. Am I missing something?My company requires that I download the source and compile it myself before using any software without monetary costs Edited July 2, 2007 by CSP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSP Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 (edited) We could fix the cost for you when that helps ....Not joking, that might actually alleviate a lot of problems. Being a software dev company, there's a big paranoia towards "free" programs because of GPL. I know that AutoIt is Freeware, not GPL, but I still can't use it due to the strict use policy.If I really want to pursue this option, who/how should I contact?

Could understand it when the issue is guaranteed support or something like that.So what is the true reason for wanting to compile it yourself ?I doubt you will get the current source, Jon had some bad experience with that when its was GPL for a short while.

CSP Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 So what is the true reason for wanting to compile it yourself ?Ouch, that hurts.The company that I work for recently made a major mistake and nearly shipped out a GPLed code which was stopped at the very last moment. Thanks to that incident, every *free* software beginning from Firefox and putty are being re-evaluated for use. The current policy states that anything free must come in source form. Source isn't necessary if we could purchase it.With all due respect, I understand that you have to deal with many annoying kids who try to mess around with the system, but being called a liar really hurts.

I never intended to make it sounds as you read/interpreted it. I am Dutch and write strait forward English. All I was trying to say is that I don't understand why with freeware you need to compile it yourself when its cleary stated you can use AutoIt and distribute it.

CSP Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 My mistake for misunderstanding you. I agree with your remark, but being a new hire at a large corporation, I'm in no position to tell anyone how thing should run. Perhaps a dual-licensing system like MySQL's might help for people like me. Would Jon be the contact if I wanted to arrange a purchase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
