If he wants to compete with that, he just has to write a better app than
digiKam :-)

Well, as said already, they should provide something better - or change
their business model. Maybe it wouldn't be as easy as selling
closed-source apps but it definitely would have a brighter future... ;-)
Thx for your work btw.

Or even better: join digiKam. Am I crazy? I don't think so: due to
pluggable architecture of KDE and digiKam itself it should be possible
to fill some gaps in digiKam functionality with commercial/closed source
plug ins.

Only if libkipi was LGPL - it seems to be GPL though.

Hmm, Marcel pointed to important thing: kipi-plugins are out of the
question (*) but there are few other things which would not touch kipi
code:

- write extensive Kross backend and do things with that
- networked multiuser database backend: without hooks directly into
  digiKam code would be hard but not impossible. Smart programmer could
  find few ways to do it, I am sure.

(*) KDE policy is that libraries should be LGPL'ed just to make such
things possible.

ah, the famous Kross API. To have take a look few month ago in Kross project, i cannot fnd a good and simple exemple to implement Kross support in digiKam. It sound complex and not clear...
 

- networked multiuser database backend: without hooks directly into
 digiKam code would be hard but not impossible. Smart programmer could
 find few ways to do it, I am sure.

hum, this is planed later 0.10.0, but in digiKam core, not libkipi...
 

(*) KDE policy is that libraries should be LGPL'ed just to make such
things possible.

For me, to change libkipi from GPL to LGPL is not a problem...
