| ECO is a great framework no doubt, but it does not solve ONE LineOfBusiness (LOB) issue, so marketing is a challenge. Your solution probably solves ONE LOB issue. We want to open up for you to sublicense ECO so that you can bundle ECO with your product. This way you can sell platform systems that other developers can extend using ECO. We think that platform systems are very attractive to inhouse IT departments of all sorts; getting a platform that "almost" solves every issue in their LOB, and get access to tools and strategies to extend it so that it solves ALL issues in the evolving LOB. We think that bundling ECO with a platform system makes it even more attractive as we have strategies for the constant evolution that inhouse systems go thru.

I personally voted "Yes" but for us it's the matter of *not near* future. We first need to organize the selling of our product (built on ECO) for end users. But its core functionality can be used as a platform for developing business apps.

Hi team!
I think you have one of the best modeling framework i know, but you don't achieve the corresponding recognition of it...
I think, some time ago, that you need to change your commercial (business) and development (software) model..., you need to innovate and share part or all of your powerful code as soon as possible while you have the best MDA modeling framework in your hands, you might popularize your great framework opening development to open source, and then sell your modeler and professional services. IMHO 
I think the open source model offer huge possibilities to this framework:
- build new applications by MDA modeling: using class & state machine models
- integration of different DB applications using reverse modeling (CRM, ERP, BPM, ECM, BI, ...)
- port to different operating systems using mono (like popular Linux)
- extending to other solutions: using plugins and API interfaces
- etc.
Anyway, congratulations once again

In reference to my previous thoughts, today i know the following news:
Versant expands db4o Open Source Licensing
I know Db4o product, a fully OO C# and Java native & compatible DBMS product, free source, and their growing strength is based its simple and capable technology (not so much as ECO and most of all their growing open developers community...
Furthermore my opinion is that ECO framework has advantage over full OO databases in that TODAY exists many applications using relational databases, and your ECO is a great piece to integrate heterogeneous applications.
The community "talk & give" the real value of new global business services...
I think so
Regards, himikel
