I received a question by email with the following questions (paraphrased):
- 1: Using the cordova-sqlite-storage plugin version with PhoneGap CLI, considering its use of a before_plugin_install hook
- 2: Using the cordova-sqlite-evcore-extbuild-free plugin version with a free app as a utility to work with specialized hardware for sale
Here are the answers:
1: The cordova-sqlite-storage plugin version will work with PhoneGap CLI since it is now an exact copy of the Cordova CLI ref: apache/cordova-discuss#79
I find this to be extremely confusing. Testing and support with PhoneGap CLI is extremely limited. In general I would recommend using Cordova CLI, which should work by itself or almost any other third-party tooling.
2: As already documented the cordova-sqlite-evcore-extbuild-free plugin version has the following license options:
- GPL v3 for free, which means that the publisher must publish the source code under GPL v3 license if an application is distributed to external parties. Doesn't matter whether or not the app is free. It is also possible to sell an app under this license if the source code is distributed under the same license, kinda like some companies were able to sell GNU/Linux distributions. Note that under GPL v3 if an organization makes an app for internal use only then there is no need to distribute the source code.
- Commercial license as described in https://litehelpers.net/#products; please contact [email protected] in case of interest
