True. However I probably confused the issue by talking just about cap modifications. We don't mind releasing our code that we add to the deployment tools - we release most of our tools as open source anyway. But if we build a solution around a GPL product and then combine that with the core apps to sell to customers, there is no clear boundary in the GPL that ensures that the GPL only applies to the deployment stuff and not the whole solution ie. our core IP. It's not necessarily going to be interpreted in that way, but there's no case law clearly limiting its scope and so we would be taking the risk of having to defend it in court. Wouldn't want to go there - we'd be nervous any time we moved a bit of code between the management stuff and the core apps. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WellRailed" group.
