From the following, it is my understanding that if you make _any_ derivative changes to the _Insoshi_ source code, you must make those changes available to anyone and everyone. So, building a service on top of insoshi or in tandem is not considered "derivative" work. So for my example, the Nutrition model and its functionality within an Insoshi deployment, are not subject to the AGPL.
From Wikipedia: "Both versions of the AGPL, like the corresponding versions of the GNU GPL on which they are based, are strong copyleft<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft#Strong_and_weak_copyleft>licenses" .... "The copyleft governing a work is considered to be "stronger", to the extent that the copyleft provisions can be efficiently imposed on all kinds of derived works. "Weak copyleft" refers to licenses where not all derived works inherit the copyleft license; whether a derived work inherits or not often depends on the manner in which it was derived." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agpl On Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 8:41 AM, pierre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Thanks Jesse for your reformulation. > > Any answers ? > > On 19 août, 14:09, "Jesse Crockett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yes, say for example I write a rails site with a Nutrition model, and > base > > the social network in tandem, such that the app is 85% insoshi, 15% > original > > surface.
