Christopher, You're right about what the legal question hinges on. I don't recall particulars of WordPress furore, and highly doubt has been contested in court. I would suggest asking [email protected] and/or SFLC.
The existence of proprietary web frameworks is probably not informative. The private, proprietary software license that a customer obtains could provide permissions for using the framework to build websites if copyright permission is indeed required for such situations. If it does seem that building an Aiki-based website would require copyright permission as a modified work, and you/Aiki copyright holders don't want the copyleft to be that aggressive, could do an AGPL exception. But then you should really talk to FSF or SFLC. ... Totally separate from legal questions/requirements (which I know is how this bug is framed) I think a framework that makes it easy/default to publish complete & corresponding source of running application is very interesting and probably good technically and socially. -- 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
