No, we missed that point.

If a customer stops paying OpenERP Enterprise and uses private modules, we will ask him to publish his own modules under the AGPL licence. It seems fair for me. > Finally those are all communications details, but I think they have > their importance before one point finger to somebody. Let's focus on the > agreement and license exception then. Yes, I will be able to propose an agreement around the 15th of august. This agreement will be based on a common one (like the FSFE one). I will do an agreement that includes a clause that guarantees that, if OpenERP's license is not open source one day, the copyright goes back to the community. -> of course, it's not our intention at all but it's just in the case I die or the OpenERP SA company goes into financial difficulties. (I expect both to never happen, at least before 60 years :) Sorry about the long delay but I am in the U.S. up to the 10th and my agenda is full. I may not be able to answers future email easily. -- Fabien Pinckaers CEO OpenERP Chaussée de Namur 40 B-1367 Grand-Rosière Belgium Phone: +32.81.81.37.00 Fax: +32.81.73.35.01 Web: http://openerp.com _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openerp-community Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openerp-community More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
