Let us suppose that Aiki Framework were not licensed under any additional terms such as aGPL but were rather a purely proprietary, copyrighted commercial web framework. In that case, do I require copyright permission to make a copy of the work? Clearly I do, and I can usually obtain such permission by paying for the software. Does obtaining such copyright permission by buying the software allow me to modify the software without additional permission? Clearly the answer is no. However, if I use the software to build a website, does that constitute a copyright violation? Is that a modification of the software? Do I need to obtain any additional copyright permissions every time I modify my website? I feel compelled to answer these questions in the negative. The following section is particular to the aGPL: > Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License. > Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, **if you modify the > Program**, your modified version must prominently offer all users interacting > with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such > interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your > version (emphasis added) This debate turns on the question of whether sites built with Aiki Framework are modifications of Aiki Framework. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Aiki Framework Admins, which is subscribed to aikiframework. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/782399 Title: Aiki sites should be Affero compliant out of the box Status in Aiki Framework: New Bug description: Currently Aiki sites must make their code available by hand to comply with the license. I bet that most Aiki sites are out of compliance with the license. This is a SERIOUS problem. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~aikiframework.admins Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~aikiframework.admins More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
