Hi-

Ultimate ++ is really cool. However, the fancy sql framework and data aware controls are for windows only. I don't see any oledb for linux unless I missed something.

I am wondering if I create an Ultimate ++ program to do what it excels at (many things) and create a separate Lazarus program using Zeos controls. Can I distribute both of them if I don't try to make calls to Ultimate ++ from Lazarus? Is it considered the same program for license purpose if I don't communicate or make calls back and forth and don't mix the code ? Couldn't I just package the executables for distribution as separate downloads?

For example, at our office at our clinic there is a scheduling, reporting, data entry, and billing application written in C++. Do people write similar applications and have separate modules in different programming languages as part of a complete system that supports a mental health clinic for example?

Could I launch an Ultimate ++ executable from a Lazarus program without getting into trouble with licensing?

Thanks for any input. I'd like to develop in both Lazarus and Ultimate++. I don't have a lot of cash to buy Delphi Prism and use managed code mixed with unmanaged code (solving any license problems). I plan on using linux only soon too. I actually planned that for a lot of years but XP has lasted forever on my old pc.---
