Everything else that you wrote, I agree with 100%. @Harry

If Ext does fade away (cue Ajax effect), I personally think it will take longer than 1.5 years if only due to inertia. Everything else that you wrote, I agree with 100%.

Ex-Ext supporters should be happy to hear that Isomorphic’s offerings do not require a law degree and telepathy as prerequisites to commercial deployment, unlike certain other products that they have used. @Charles

Thanks for the clarification. Ex-Ext supporters should be happy to hear that Isomorphic’s offerings do not require a law degree and telepathy as prerequisites to commercial deployment, unlike certain other products that they have used.

My prediction is that Ext is going to be Ext-inct within 1.5yrs. I had reluctantly stopped using Ext because of the license change to GPL. I say reluctantly because I still liked Ext but we simply couldn't use any GPL software. I hope SmartClient / SmartGWT deliver as this is exactly what the community needed. I've already assigned a couple of resource to come up with a migration path from Ext to SmartClient. This is fantastic news!! My prediction is that Ext is going to be Ext-inct within 1.5yrs.

We will be sure to make this prominently visible in the official license.

Therefore, it is probably a good bet that SmartGWT will have the same interpretation. http://forums.smartclient.com/showthread.php?t=1778 One question that needs to be raised is whether the SmartGWT license will explicitly contain the same derivative work clarification to the LGPL license as the GWT-Ext license.
