Sorry for my late response.
My concerns are basically ethical. As you know different licenses allows you to do or redistribute software under different conditions. I am interested and/or concerned about possible code included in it and maybe with possible conditions I am not willing to accept. I would probably end up accepting that because qtVlm is the best option I can afford, but at least I would be conscious of all implications when using this software.
I won't lie to you, I would rather prefer that qtVlm were OpenSource just like before because then I was able to inspect the code and understand what it did, and I was sure that there was no communication from outside that I didn't like. It may look like a stupid thing but I am sure you understand what I am talking about.
Also, when I found small issues in an open source software I am able to do a pull request or send a patch to the developers, or to inform where the issue is, but I cannot do this with qtVlm. I am worried about the business model that Meltemus will take in the future because I think this software, being free, has an enormous potential to compete seriously with others like Adrena or Squid, but... closing source is the first step to return with the old-fashioned business model.
I also think the routing algorithm is quite powerful at the moment but closing source means that some other algorithms or improving the current is not possible outside your company.
All these questions raised to me when I wanted to analyze the cost of adding some extra feature, like showing wind arrows over the line of a routing (not just over a route).. and I found I couldn't.
I just looked for a bit clarification in all these aspects, I hope you don't take it as an attack but just as I am curious and really interested in this software. I dream in an OpenSource solution than breaks with the current standards because I believe in contributions as the best way to reach the top quality.
So, having said that, I guess you understand more my question.
Thanks!
