Example, I can use joomla to create commercial websites for my clients, also I can use it if I am a hosting provider to offer as a service "create site" tool.
But I cant use Joomla to create a : *Bruno's joomla commercial platform* to compete with Joomla. I think if you are going to keep the code in your server the code is yours, but if you want to redistribute the platform, you have to contribute back to community. The problem is not money, the problem is using open source code to create commercial platforms and not contributing back to the community. Can I take web2py source and create "Bruno's commercial framework" ?? extend it and sell to my clients, keeping my improvements closed?
