[rabbitmq-discuss] What's difference between vFabric RabbitMQ and the open source RabbitMQ?

[jim]

Not so.

Commercial support is available from Pivotal for both vFabric RabbitMQ 
and open source RabbitMQ. The terms do differ between them.

The main differences are:

- vFabric RabbitMQ has a commercial license [0] whereas open source 
RabbitMQ is licensed under the MPL1.1 [1]
- vFabric RabbitMQ support can be purchased under a perpetual license 
whereas open source RabbitMQ is annual subscription only [2]
- the support window for a particular release of vFabric RabbitMQ is 
substantially longer (3yrs) than open source RabbitMQ (1yr) [3]
- the vFabric RabbitMQ release comes with a JMS client that is not 
available as part of the open source distribution [4]
