Source Code Availability. You must notify the software community of +the availability of Source Code to Your Extensions within one (1) month +of the date You initially Deploy and include in such notification a +description of the Extensions, and instructions on how to acquire the +Source Code. " + +and that we distribute the code for 12 months : + +" +6.1 Availability of Source Code. You must make available, under the +terms of this License, the Source Code of any Extensions that You +Deploy, via an Electronic Distribution Mechanism. The Source Code for +any version that You Deploy must be made available within one (1) month +of when you Deploy and must remain available for no less than twelve +(12) months after the date You cease to Deploy. You are responsible for +ensuring that the Source Code to each version You Deploy remains +available even if the Electronic Distribution Mechanism is maintained by +a third party. You may not charge a fee for any copy of the Source Code +distributed under this Section in excess of Your actual cost of +duplication and distribution of said copy." + + +So RPL has more requirements than AGPL, so we cannot relicense. + +3) Even if it was possible, phpbb seems to be under gpl v2 only, and +agpl v1 is incompatible with gpl v2, agpl v3 is compatible with gpl v3, +but I do not know for gpl v2 and agpl v3 compatibility. So this may be +another potential problem. + + + +-- +Michael Scherer + +</PRE> + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000372.html">[Mageia-webteam] Forum installation (almost) complete +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000374.html">[Mageia-webteam] Forum installation (almost) complete +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#373">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#373">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#373">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#373">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-webteam">More information about the Mageia-webteam +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
