Hi David, > There is a growing ecosystem of non-free activities for the sugar > and the .xo . Is there an official policy on hosting non-free > activities on activities.sugarlabs.org?
Yes. We ratified at a SLOBS meeting that non-free activities (or content) should *not* be hosted on ASLO, and attempted to specify what we mean by non-free: http://meeting.olpcorps.net/sugar-meeting/sugar-meeting.log.20091211_1002.html [10:13:24] <cjb> MOTION: adopt http://opensource.org/docs/osd as a set of guidelines for what is permitted on ASLO, for both software and content, and http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing#Good_Licenses's opinions on specific licenses where applicable, and always asking the SFC for advice when a particular license is under question. ... [10:16:56] <mchua> seconded [10:17:33] <mchua> yea [10:17:35] <cjb> yea [10:17:42] <SeanDaly> yea [10:17:44] <tomeu> aye [10:17:47] <walterbender> yea [10:17:53] <bernie> yep > I am interested in establishing a 'market-place' for sugar > activities. It would seem that we have three choises: 1. We can > work to incorporate it into the existing also instance. Limited > firewall between commercial and non-commercial portions of the > project. 2. We can establish a second instance of aslo called > marketplace.sl.org - This establishes a firewall between the > non-commercial and non-commercial parts of the project. It also > leverages and builds up the Sugar name. 3. I, or others, can > establish third party markets independent of activities.sl.org. If we continue with the policy that was voted on, I think it would be important not to have anything inside .sugarlabs.org endorse or offer non-free activities, which would suggest choice 3 in your list above.
