See, I think you might be in a different situation that us.
We are a development company , that get's contracted by clients to do
work for them. Meaning we may setup 3 or 4 ec systems a month... it's
always on our servers.
Where are you work for a company that has 1 instance of their own
softare for their own shoppping cart.
I'm understanding what you are saying, but my boss is telling me that
he has gotten legal advice on the licese, and it was his understanding
that he would have to share any change he did with it with the clients
that contracted us.
Jeff.
