About Licensing policy

URGENT: The licensing policy for executables must be thought out to get registered in Sourceforge

• Research and development is inder GFDL
• XML DTDs and Schemas are under GPL (more licensensing schemes are considered)
• License for the actual Server and Client software isn't decided yet but it'll propably be w:Apache server style to stop installation of unconformant software pretending to be genuine Consumerium software. This is very important, because the Retailers will totally freak out if there is even an minor possibility that the Price information can leak outside the physical shop.

• Actual content of the system (if it gets built someday) will be using whatever license the information producer wishes though there will be guidelines on where Open content and where Proprietary licenses are preferred.
