Union Free Licence Announced

Today at FITC in Toronto, Canada, USER1 Subsystems Corporation announced its official licensing terms for Union 1.0. When Union 1.0 is released, it will available under two licences: Union and Union Enterprise.

Union will be entirely free for both commercial and noncommercial projects, and will support up to 1000 simultaneous client connections.

Union Enterprise, a commercial license, will support an unlimited number of simultaneous client connections. Pricing for Union Enterprise will be announced when Union 1.0 is released.

By releasing a free 1000-user licence, USER1 aims to make multiuser-application development significantly more accessible to innovators, businesses, and hobbyists alike. Under Union's free licence, the vast majority of realtime-multiuser applications will be able to be deployed without the need to purchase costly server software.

In order to foster community sharing, USER1 is committed to providing a free licence that supports a minimum of 1000 simultaneous client connections for all future versions of Union. We hope that this promise gives the community the confidence to develop and share custom components, server modules, applications, client SDKs, and best practices in the field of multiuser computing.

We believe that all applications should be multiuser; we hope our free Union licence helps make that belief a reality.
