[jdev] Use Question

[Stanczak Group]

See that's where I don't completely understand. First let me say I'm ok 
either way. I can release whatever I make under GPL. You say embed, but 
the site says plugins. So I guess my question is, if I develop a plugin 
to Wildfire does it have to be released, or can it be commercial? At 
first I was thinking how can Jive develop plugins and offer commercial 
plugins, yet other developers can't? But then again it is authored by 
Jive, so I guess that's what makes it ok? I'm not very good with all 
that stuff so I may just be not understanding. I'll give that stuff a 
read. My idea was to develop a client and plugin that goes on the 
Wildfire server. Not sure if I'd charge or opensource it, but I still 
wanted to know my options.
