Commercial Licensing- for organizations interested in advanced products and tools, RTI offers an optional Commercial license. The IC Commercial license is currently available, royalty-free and includes the entire RTI Connext product family, basic tools and utilities, ability to license additional platforms, a full commercial warranty and optional annual support package. The only charge is a low per-developer license fee. Pricing for the IC Commercial license starts at $1,000 per developer (US pricing). Qualifying for an IC RTI is receiving positive response from its customers with more than 20 organizations - ranging from commercial enterprises to research institutions - qualifying for and adopting the IC licensing model including AUDI, Johns Hopkins University APL and Integrated Clinical Environment (ICE). Any organization interested in using a common software infrastructure across programs, systems or applications qualifies for an IC, including government standards communities, companies or corporate divisions, development sites and multi-company joint efforts.

What’s Important in a Model?
• Generate low-friction viral adoption– Free use for early projects– No legal & operational red tape
• Support healthy vendors– Limit unfettered competition from services companies that don’t drive the product.
(And may be foreign, undesired.)– For those who can pay, provide good reason to pay
• Encourage speculative vendor investment– Build product the broad market needs– Invest in features, accessibility, usability, quality
• Retain IP control– No forced copyleft of customer code– Encourage some mechanism to ensure code provenance
• Drive efficiency and low cost– Encourage single code base and stable team– Stop the “free puppy” syndrome; no local branches
