Revision 6 as of 2008-10-09 18:08:01

Clear message

The very feature-rich, multi-platform editor for scripting languages by ActiveState, Komodo Edit, was released as a zero-cost but closed-sourced application in November of 2007.

http://www.openkomodo.com/

Komodo Edit is fully built out of this source tree:

To try to help alleviate some confusion:

* OpenKomodo is the chosen name for Komodo-related things that have been open sourced -- all of which is in the svn.openkomodo.com repository.

* The http://www.openkomodo.com/ website is meant to provide details about open-source Komodo things.

* The major important "open-source Komodo thing" is the Komodo Edit editor.

* "Komodo Snapdragon" is/was an idea to do something with the open-sourced Komodo codebase other than a typical editor/IDE. The idea was to leverage Komodo's Mozilla underpinnings to do something "interesting" for web development. As a previous editor of this page indicated, Snapdragon is indeed current vaporware. Komodo Edit is not.

If this is true, why do I see this when I look under Help -> License -> "License and Copyright" in "Komodo Edit, version 4.4.1, build 1774, platform linux-libcpp6-x86. Built on Thu Jul 10 17:46:32 2008."?

(The important bit being "ActiveState Komodo licenses are issued on a per-user basis. A Komodo license may be installed on more than one system or platform, as long as the licensee is the sole user of the software.")

- Similar in "Komodo Edit, version 5.0.0-alpha3, build 2213, platform linux-libcpp6-x86. Built on Tue Sep 23 03:42:16 2008."

Again the "ActiveState Komodo licenses are issued on a per-user basis. A Komodo license may be installed on more than one system or platform, as long as the licensee is the sole user of the software." is the troubling bit.
