Agreed. Below is the link to the Free Software Foundation Europe's Fiduciary License Agreement (FLA) program.
http://fsfe.org/activities/ftf/fla.en.html The following link provides information about Bacula (my free software backup program) and the FLA that the Bacula project is using. It also discusses an agreement with the open-core company, Bacula Systems SA (founded by myself and other free software believers). http://fsfe.org/activities/ftf/bacula-agreement.en.html I understand that some of you may "hate" open-core companies. Nevertheless, the above agreement, which is certainly unusual and maybe unique, in my opinion situates Bacula Systems SA somewhere between a free software company and a "normal" open-core company and thus is positive for the free software movement.
