DeRobertis: I think we'd have to say that you can use
the source for any purpose OUTSIDE of the partnership
-- a fork (of organization, not code).
Eric: That is my understanding, but if I am wrong
please correct me - that we do not envision
restricting use or sale of source code by third
parties.
Alain: We definitely don't want to restrict the resale
of source code by third parties. Businesses like
RedHat are quite welcome.
Alain: We may want to put restrictions on the uses of
OpenKard and its derivatives, though. For example, do
we allow the hypothetical company that we will name
MicroSloth to make just enough modifications to our
source code (e.g. a fork) and scoop our entire effort,
and make a bundle with it?
Eric: So, please speak up, because I want to draft
only once and rewrite only once - so i must know, with
as much precision as possible exactly what is desired.
Alain: In that case, don't start drafting yet, Eric.
