I have read the whole statement in Openbravo website..... My question?
Why in your blog just mention only the 3 line of their explanation, not the whole statement? http://www.openbravo.com/product/others/relationship-compiere/ One of them ----> Openbravo is based on a number of other Open Source projects, such as Apache, Dojo, and notably Compiere. Specifically, Openbravo's application dictionary was originated on a 2002 version of Compiere's. The application dictionary defines the structure of each module and screen and therefore the two applications have similar appearances. They do acknowledge their base from Compiere and also others OSS they used. And wait , most of OSS is using each other source codes, I mean binary, library or services (apache, Java, GCC, Linux) so do I assume all this projects "curi" codes orang lain ..... We talk about freedom in OSS and always assume orang lain thats not following the ways of FOSS is not FOSS. Damp, when we talk about free, then we need also to acknowledge the freedom of others, how they want to used OSS source codes as long they do not breach the others people license. Me also want freedom to choice. The freedom to select and the freedom to know. By telling others software is not Open Source or purely OSS you already limit the choice. You are doing the lock in ... I don't like that. Lock in by telling other projects is not pure OSS..... OSS is about making choice and the freedom to do it .... ------- Openbravo delivers a fully integrated, web-based ERP system built upon the methodology and principles of Open Source. This means both that the source code is openly available and that in our development process we continually look for available technologies, enabling a rapid introduction of new ideas and the evolution of existing components. Openbravo is based on a number of other Open Source projects, such as Apache, Dojo, and notably Compiere. Specifically, Openbravo's application dictionary was originated on a 2002 version of Compiere's. The application dictionary defines the structure of each module and screen and therefore the two applications have similar appearances. Three important distinctions are: Openbravo's native web-based architecture, its use of MVC architecture in the actual development environment, and a significant increase in the number of available functionalities, such as manufacturing, MRP, etc... Our current code base is almost entirely comprised of original, Openbravo-developed code that is continually evolving. By our estimates, less than 10% of this code can be attributed to Compiere. Any code that has not been developed by Openbravo is properly identified in the source files.
