I find plugins quite a gray area when talking about licensing and the GPL.
[1] Alfresco (must popular Enterprise Electronic Document Management Software)
has the same license of Bacula, and it's plugins are developed for several
other companies, with different licenses. E. g.: Activity BPM Plugin [
http://activiti.org/]
[2] Wordpress (ECM) the same. Example of property plugin: Ninja Forms [
https://ninjaforms.com/ ].

If you pay licensing to buy software I don't see why can't you pay for the
backup software. As long as BE keep this focus on specific backup application
and plugin "modus operandi" I don't see any problem.

While much or even most of Bacula Systems extensions to Bacula are in plugins,
Bacula Systems also relies on the fact that contributors have signed a
fiduciary license agreement permitting me to use their contributions under
other licenses (including non-free). This licensing benefits everyone.

Dear Bacula Users,
I'll try to express my impartial opinion here, as a lawyer with a little
knowledge of intelectual property, hoping that anyone gets mad at me and to
settle this. =)
Bacula is licensed by GNU Affero General Public License version 3, witch
requires code modifications to be licensed with the same way, even though it
doesn't obligate the modifier to publish it.
However, MOST of the code developed by Bacula Enterprise are in the form of
Plugins (Vmware, Databases, etc.) and GUI (bweb), that CAN'T be considered
derivations / modifications of the original Bacula Source code. In fact anyone
can develop those accessories, like Webacula, Reportula, Webmin, etc. Some of
them, in fact, use different programming language, so there is no way to
contest the legality of those binaries. BE can license those in any way they
want.

Assunto: Re: [Bacula-users] Request for help
The whole paraphrasing, "Bacula will sue you" I saw directly on the Bacula
Systems site.. I 'm sure it was worded a bit more PC. But it threatened the
possibility of legal action against anyone using the bareos software. The whole
branching/forking is bad I read many places including backups.org , I think
Kern's blog, and also in a power point presentation I believe used by Bacula
Systems for some conference in Europe last year. I am not spending my evening
finding the links. You certainly have every right to find me full of shit and
disregard my opinion.

Do you have URLs for that? I didn't see any of that from the Bacula project.
