After the two previous posts on this subject and the comments recieved I have come to a final conclusion.

The qWikiOffice desktop will be dual licensed like ExtJS, and will be identical under both.  No separate commercial version.

I have spent many hours on this desktop and plan to keep on working on it no matter who else is interested.  I began working on it because I needed an online desktop environment for apps I have planned, and plan to continue.

Of course thanks goes to ExtJS for their original desktop demo that I started adding to months ago.

I will hopefully be posting an updated zip file to the download page soon (maybe this coming weekend).  I’m still making database and code changes.

My plan for licensing is as follows.

1. Release the qWikiOffice Desktop (basic), which can be viewed through the Demo link, under the Open Source LGPL 3.0 license.
2. Release the qWikiOffice Desktop (advanced) under a commercial license.

Whats the difference between the 2 desktops? The qWikiOffice Desktop (basic) does not have the OS type features that the advanced desktop will have.

Some features the advanced desktop will have additional to what you see in the demo are as follows.

1. An application installer, which will register all apps/module into the database.
2. Advanced grouping, which will allow member access to apps/modules and features with the apps/modules.
3. A common connection object that apps/modules will use for server communication.
4. One js-all (dynamic) file to include.
5. Css files included dynamically.

I’ll do a full write up of version features in another post.

I’m interested in comments/opinions concerning licensing this desktop environment similar to Ext Js: http://extjs.com/license

I feel that this desktop will keep progressing, and hopefully become very useful to a lot of people.  So please feel free to add your comments.
