Rapid-I Copyrights

Dear all,

I would like to use Rapid-I with my Data Mining library. Can you please point me to documentation about the licensing and copyrights of Rapid-I before I start using functionality from Rapid-I. For example, what are the guidelines for using Rapid-I in a commercial environment where I call the library directly in my commercial library?

Thank you and best wishes,
Samer

Hi Samer,

the RapidMiner Community Edition (the one that is downloadable for free from our website) is released under the AGPL license: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.html.
When you use the rapidminer library from your own library, your library must either also be licensed under the AGPL, or you should get in contact with us to discuss the possibilities of an OEM license of RapidMiner.

Best regards,
Marius

My library is a commercial one. Please kindly explain the steps for a partner role with Rapid-I. Also, I really love your picture. You are looking absolutely wonderful ;-)

Cheers,
Samer

I can not resist but asking:

what happens in Rapid-I hires me? who owns what? my library is cutting edge technology in streaming data although only about 13 algorithms ;-) whereas Rapid-I is a darling ;-)

Thanks so much,
Samer
