Re: [wsbpel] Q: Licensing of BPEL - example site?

Frank,

Excellent clarification.

I may begin work early in 2005 on updating my VisualScript models to 
output ActiveBPEL then.

I'm pretty much max'd on delivering BPSS and related models between now 
and then so will have
to get those projects finished first.

Thanks, DW
