[Koha-devel] what about 3.2 improvements under AGPL ?

[paul POULAIN]

Hello,

What do you think about releasing all our 3.2 improvements under AGPL ? 
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl.html

Summary: the AGPL makes mandatory to release source code even if your 
software is an hosted one.

The AGPL is compatible with Koha, as Koha is GPL v2 *or later*
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#AllCompatibility (AGPL is 
considered as a part of the GPL: 
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#SeparateAffero )

Of course, everything already existing, that is under GPL would stay as it.

I think it would be a good idea. Publishing the source code is not 
enough (we all know that getting 400 000 lines of code without hint, 
help and a git repo would be useless), but at least, that would clarify 
our motives.

cheers
