The short version
- Each has a real cost: Orange orange is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3, so distributing modified or derived software requires releasing the source under the GPL; JMP the Internet Archive's capture of JMP's homepage on 13 January 2020 named five distinct editions, JMP, JMP Live, JMP Pro, JMP Clinical, and JMP Genomics, each targeting a different analysis use case, with no price figure published for any.
- They diverge on capability: Orange covers Visual programming, JMP covers Interactive statistics.
