[ome-users] Imaris <-> Omero

[Gregory Jefferis]

Dear OME people,

Although open source software is the target of my personal development 
efforts, my lab still uses a mix of open and commercial closed source 
software.  In considering a transition to an image database system like 
Omero one major consideration is whether all of our software would be 
able to get convenient access to image (meta)data. It was recently 
pointed out to me that that the GPL license of the ICE framework used by 
Omero is a problem for any closed source application that wanted to talk 
to an Omero server via ICE:

I presume this would include Imaris.  Has anyone looked at this issue in 
detail?  Thoughts?  Workarounds?

Best wishes,

Greg.
