![]() Because of the grayness of this area, I have decided to put ports of Mockups to Twiki, MediaWiki and Deki Wiki on the back burner for the time being, at least until I after I investigate the question and its risks fully with my lawyer. It's a gray area, and unfortunately I haven't been able to find a definitive answer on the subject ( here's one, here's another, here's some legalese, here's a controversy.). The GPL license has a clause in it which might be interpreted in a way that forbids developers from selling proprietary plugins like I do. Recently I looked into the licensing for Twiki (and MediaWiki, and Mindtouch Deki Wiki), and they are all open source applications released under the GPL license. Well, I'm glad you asked! □ I have had "Mockups for Twiki" on my TODO list for a long time, mostly because a friend at a very large tech company told me that if I ported Mockups to Twiki his company might buy it.

I am looking forward to working with them and everyone at XWiki in the future. ![]() I would also like to thank Guillaume Lerouge and Pascal Bouche from XWiki SAS: it is thanks to them that I can now boast about being an " XWiki technical partner". Luis was the first contractor I ever hired, and I'm afraid he has spoiled me! □ Luis has already used Mockups for XWiki for one of his personal projects in a coporate setting with great success, and is interested in working on collaborative design projects using Mockups for XWiki. Luis has since moved on to start Pilango, a lifestyle company focusing on crowdsourcing applications, but his deep knowledge of the XWiki platform and his passion for high quality software made working with him a real pleasure. Most of the development for this product was done by Luis Arias, a rock-star developer of Colombian origin living in France who happens to have joined XWiki's founder Ludovic Dubost as employee #1 back in 2005.
