Hi,

actually it is not possible to distribute proprietary apps. ownCloud is licensed under AGPLv3 and every app can be seen as a derivative work and therefore needs to be licensed under a AGPLv3 compatible license.

As far as I know that's only true for a shared code base, ownCloud can be seen as a framework for cloud apps and provides an apps API to establish that. The derivative work rule only applies if modifications are made to the framework itself. There are plenty examples of commercial, closed source software utilizing opensource frameworks.

Kind regards,
Jan ten Bokkel
