Question on licensing #245

Closed uxkjaer closed 2 years ago

uxkjaer commented 2 years ago

I've got a more general question in regards to license. I understand that the node-rfc package is licensed under the apache license, but the binaries used to call the RFC is still not open source and under the developer license.

If I was to build a product to distribute to SAP customers and they called the RFC with a communication user, would that be a breach of license as the customer themselves would have the right for the product?

Redistribution of NW RFC SDK is not allowed and would be a breach of the license. See also https://support.sap.com/connectors#section_561121760

Best regards, Markus
