I thing "before" you have a kind a full functional shareware library, you can try and test capabilities, stability and performance and decide if it's useful or not for a possible commercial project.

True. First i think that a company or a person does need an authorization for each commercial product. Authorization mean that this company or person have the right to make a commercial software.
Second redistributing DUGL, making wrapper, ... is always free, and it's up to the final user to respect the license.
Maybe I'm not a good commercial but for me there two important points :
- I really want to promote DOS as i think and believe that it's a very good OS alternative.
- I do wish that DUGL can generate enough income that i will go full time developing it.

I'm open to any proposal, suggestion as for the moment there is no commercial interest. Not sure what would be the best choice for a good development of both DOS and DUGL.

Yes.
