[Gluster-devel] Local vs unify

[Gareth Bult]

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. 

Gareth.

Ok, let's be clear here, so far as I can seem GlusterFS is available as a commercial product. 
http://www.zresearch.com/subscription.php 

One of my points was that there is a HEAVY implication that this IS a production ready environment. 
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
