GPL Licence ?!
Our goal is to release Host4net
under the General Public License. Webmin has been
developed as GPL, free for commercial use. Thanks
to many contributors and sponsors, Webmin has become
one of the most powerful remote management systems
allowing third party developers to implement new
features. 4NET wishes to subscribe to this goal,
and to develop probably one of the most complex
web management solutions available today.
To achieve this goal, we are currently looking for
investors or financial contributors. Until now 4NET
has supported all of the analysis, design and development
process. The project is closing to its end and we
wish to decide on which side we must stay - commercial/half
commercial or GPL free for commercial use. This
will be decided according to the level of interest
manifested by the Webmin community & users and
to the level of their financial contribution.
We are expecting a level of 2500$ worth of contributions
in order to release the first version 1.00-MS1
as GPL. Further versions will be developed under
a ransomware model, but early sponsors will continue
to receive updates and support for one year. Every
donation will be gratefully appreciated, and they
will add towards the $2500 total. However, we encourage
contributors to donate at least 200$ in order to
speed up the GPL release process.
We understand that many will not agree to sponsor
any software development without evaluating and
understanding this product. To help you, we are
providing a demo for our module. To test it -click

Contributors may use the module in any way they
wish for commercial or non-commercial purposes.
However, no one can resell the module, relicense
the module, or give away the module, without 4NET's
permission.
