Licensing of 3rd party addons developed with Bookmap API

[Zack]

As part of the API development roadmap, we plan to create a proper marketplace. Currently the process is manual, as follow:

• In case the developer wants to share his API addon with specific traders, he needs to send an email with such request to [email protected] and include the following information:
  • Name of the addon and name of the developer. This will allow us to define a unique identification for this addon
  • Short description or a link to such description which can be on Bookmap forum or elsewhere.
  • A link to the Jar file that you wish to license.
• In response, Bookmap team will create a new license field for the addon and will update the developer on its unique identification
• From that point, developer may request Bookmap team to enable the addon for specific Bookmap users. The request should include:
  • First name, Last name and the email registered in Bookmap site
  • # of months to enable the addon

Remarks

• Note that general requirements to run a custom module still apply in this case, see here
• Developers may protect their source code using any kind of obfuscation tools available, for instance Proguard
• At this stage Bookmap doesn't charge fees for the 3rd party paid addons
