…Just found out about the release of the new, free Wolfram Engine offering. I’m interested in this initiative as the basis for developing commercial, embedded applications. I have read the license agreement and how it applies to both R&D/testing and for commercial distribution. I’m most interested in edge applications and thus the clauses which apply to embedded systems. Several questions come to mind but the three uppermost are:
-
Are there standard, itemized commercial use cases that can be referred to regarding licensing fees rather than simply stating a range of 5 to 100 dollars per unit? I understand that this is new territory for Wolfram and probably still under discussion. But it would be useful to have more details.
-
Although the RPi series of SBCs are popular and widely available, I have found element14 unresponsive when it comes to anything but stellar MOQs, especially restrictive for small startups. Nothing that a little competition couldn’t cure. So it’s in that spirit that I ask: does Wolfram intend to port the Wolfram Engine to more than just the RPi anytime soon(ish) or should one not hold his/her breath?
-
Of a slightly more technical nature, how does (or will) the wolfram engine handle graphical output or even dynamic code/manipulation. Thank you.
