Commercial Support for Watir
Bret Pettichord
Prototest and Pete Dignan (CEO of Prototest) to accelerate the
development of new versions of Watir. They have very generously agreed
to fund this work.
We are still working out the road map, but it looks like improving
support for dialogs and putting together a plan for better support of
Firefox will be tackled first. We are looking at Jira closer than ever,
so if you do have specific features or bugs you'd like to see us attend
to, please add your votes.
The recent discussion here regarding the license for Watir has been
correct: Watir is free and anyone is allowed to distribute Watir for
free. Also anyone is allowed to create commercial versions
(improvements) to Watir and to sell them.
Both Pete Dignan and I are strongly committed to continuing to support a
free version of Watir and see this as essential to Watir's success. We
also are considering commercial improvements. There are many examples of
other open-source tools that have both free and commercial versions, so
this is well-established model for open-source software.
