For now our test result publication rules are very simple:
- Any ORM tool can be listed here.
- For fully commercial ORM tool (i.e. without GPL/LGPL or similar open source license) an explicit confirmation of its copyright owner is required to be listed in Scoreboard and "Participants" at this web site.
- Fully commercial ORM tool can be excluded from this web site by a request from its copyright owner.
- For non commercial or partially commercial ORM tool (i.e. with GPL/LGPL or similar open source license) no explicit confirmation of its copyright owner is required to be listed in Scoreboard and "Participants" at this web site. So generally anyone can develop a test suite for any open source ORM tool.
- Non commercial or partially commercial ORM tool can be excluded from this web site only as result of decision of author of its test suite.
- A test suite for any ORM tool must conform to all the requirement described at precautions and FAQs sections.
- Rules for acceptance of new tests and rejection of existing tests are in development. Most likely, any decisions related to particular test acceptance and rejection will be made by an absolute majority of voices of participanes (ORM tool vendors) listed here or ORM test authors; one additional voice will be granted to ORMBattle.NET team.
For now test suite content is solely under ORMBattle.NET team control, but we'd be glad to listen any proposals related to its improvement.
That's all. Please list any other candidate rules in comments, if you consider them important.
