== Proposal: CSL Membership License ==

At a fixed annual cost access to all software under CSL Membership License could be made available. CSL-EDU could be a special case for education providers.
This license would allow a community of users and programmers with open access, similar to the open source community.

=== Proposal: CSL-EDU ===

The CSL-EDU license would be a special license for education providers. At a fixed cost the education provider can license all software that is made available under the CSL-EDU license. Licensor and education provider can negotiate the cost according to published policies of the Licensor. The Licensor is responsible to provide a license management system that allows to distribute and revoke licenses for students conveniently and to make software released under the CSL-EDU compatible with the licensing scheme. Licensors who do not meet that criterion cannot sell site licenses for education providers.

== Proposal: Modular design ==

This is not a license issue but a design recommendation. CSL programs can build on a freely available core but allow plugins, extensions or related programs (e.g. similar to Firefox or Eclipse plugins) under the CSL license. One would probably want an option in the CSL license to either allow or disallow commercial plugins under different licenses.

== Project proposal: Software that is useful for OLPC ==

* [[wikipedia:QNX|QNX]], [[Sugar]] and Java/[[#Project:_X.2B.2B|X++]] as a CSL-licensed commercial distribution? (For instance with [http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Assistant_teacher_course/Software/Application_monitoring application monitoring] written in Java) The distribution would, of course, not be attached to the XO hardware. --[[User:Fasten|fasten]] 02:16, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

== Project: X++ ==

A language that combines C++, XML and Java with a simplified syntax.
Releasing X++ (working title) under CSL could have the psychological effects of increasing awareness for CSL and making CSL licensing a more natural choice. --[[User:Fasten|fasten]] 12:30, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
:Features:
:* The C++ object hierarchy is replaced with that of Java. All C++ methods are part of Java objects. C structs can be used and are accessible from Java (as in [http://javolution.org/ javolution])
:* All objects are partitioned into aspects. This isn't exactly [[w:Aspect-oriented software development|aspect orientation]] but makes large objects more easily understandable. Refactoring on aspect level will be possible.
:* typedef for Java basic types.
:* free IDE under GPL+CSL.
:* IDE is designed with respect to psychological effects.
:* Wiki syntax for code documentation; alternative XML output for templates; Java code embedded in templates can be used to generate custom template output
:: The name "X++" is already used by Microsoft for a language that has similarities with C# and C++ but includes SQL syntax. [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa867122.aspx] --[[User:Fasten|fasten]] 12:37, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
