Thank, you, yes. I had a meeting today with another company interested in this sort of function. Since it was not clear whether this module is GPL (and also whether you have implemented it cleanly), we could not spend much time considering it. I now expect to see other implementations of related functionality. sraps wrote: > ... we have not decided yet if we will release this in the near future with > under GPL.

Although I hear your motivation, doesn't the GPL prevent you from doing this legally (... the GPL grants the recipients of a computer program the rights of the free software definition and uses copyleft to ensure the freedoms are preserved, even when the work is changed or added to. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gplv3))? So if you distribute your module you create a derived work because it must be added to Open ERP to function. Mustn't you therefore distribute your source code under the GPLv3 to the recipients of your module, and risk the module becoming freely available? sraps wrote: > ...
