Hi, there were several threads around AGPL recently, mostly re-stirred due to Horracle using AGPLv3 for Berkeley DB.
I was unable to follow them totally and remember there being raised at least two points: • The inability to provide security support for AGPL software (embargoed fixes)/ • The requirements for source delivery using the network once someone patches it. • The “viral” component, like GPL, only worsened by the above. I’d like to see whether there was anything decided, since I’ve been asked yesternight to sponsor some packages, and one of them contained AGPLv3+ code (and it’s a plugin for an LGPLv2.1+ program, so I asked the prospective maintainer to hit upstream with a big foamy cluebat about their choice of licence – which he did – since it’d Conflicts with e.g. GPLv2-only plugins). So, is AGPLv3 still acceptable for main? Personally I’m ambiguous, but then, I’m not a fan of GPL either. bye, //mirabilos -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-legal-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
