Licensing

Which CheerpJ licence covers the extension for Java Web Start

CheerpJ licences are based on who uses the application. The extension is covered by a Desktop licence, priced by the desktops whose browser runs it. One licence covers both CheerpJ browser extensions, for applets and for Java Web Start, on that desktop. Compare licences and prices.
