Hymalia is the base for the OX5 product, which is in maintenance-only mode
now.

Hyperion is the successor of Hymalia and the base of our current products (OX
HE, OX EE) and of course it is also what we call our Community Edition.

Unlike with OX5, almost the complete code is licensed under GPL.


The exception, the web gui is licensed under
Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.5 Generic.
That's the same license, that is also used by the http://www.opensource.org/
homepage.
The reason for this license is, that we developed this gui together with our
customers and partners, who did quite some investments into it. Even though
they payed us to develop the code, we are still able to open the source to the
public, just with the "limitation" of the CC license, see

Exactly.

What is your reason to insist on GPL?
