What's the difference between the two:

+ Jasper: Open source ((under GNU license) Java library that can be packaged with the CPC web application. Provides capability for “embedded” canned reports.

 

+ Jaspersoft: Reporting Server and a BI tool provided by the same company that provides Jasper open source library. This requires separate installation and administration. 

 

One of developers stated they'd use Jasper not JasperSoft. Is there a difference or is it one in the same?

What's "Jasper"? For that matter, there's no such software named "Jaspersoft".

There's no such software. Please provide links to software you're mentioning.

I think what your developer uses is "JasperReports" Java library. "Jaspersoft" is the name of the company that develop and sells software and services based on "JasperReports". I think what your developer mentioned as "Jaspersoft" is actually "JasperReports Server" which is a web based application using JasperReports Java Library to allow users to use web browsers to generate and view reports.
