Re: Open Source Document Management System
Shannon I see your comment as a general comment and not a reply to Razuna. We decided to use a dual-license model because for some companies a open source license does not comply with their internal usage or they simply don't want to use open source license for whatever reason. Mostly, companies that even use a commercial license will bring back their changes to the open source stream, because they want to see it supported.

My understanding of "copyleft" is that code, and distributed changes to the code, should always be available for community-at-large. Therefore, a commercial license which allows some to modify and distribute the code without making the source available seems to contradict the spirit of "copyleft". (Though, I do understand that some organizations need to have a commercial license for software which they purchase, as well as the monetary value of selling commercially licensed versions of software). I want to mention that this was a general commentary, and in no way, should be construed as a "knock" on Razuna.

Not quite - the GPL doesn't give the recipient the right to change which license the software is distributed under - the recipient can only re-release the software under the same license (or a compatible one). However, the original creator/owner holds copyright for the code they have created, and that code may be released by them under any other license(s), as they choose, entirely independently of the GPLed code. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:314842 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Well, maybe I offer the code under GPLv3, but the company using it has a hang up about FOSS, or feels unless they pay for something it's useless. So I might well issue a commercial license to the same code. -- Tom Chiverton Helping to augmentatively streamline extensible features This email is sent for and on behalf of Halliwells LLP.

Re: Open Source Document Management System
> Does anyone know where there might be a good document management (web > based) system that might even have open source? Thoughts? As Jordan already pointed out (thank you) you should give Razuna (http://www.razuna.com) a go. We mainly refer to it as a Digital Asset Management (DAM), but it also handles documents quite well. Meaning it will index a lot of documents for you as well and make them findable. To make it a "real document management" it has to feature versioning and check-in/check-out capabilities. This will most likely be a feature of 1.1.3 (but I cant promise it). We just released version 1.1.2 yesterday and it features Custom Fields, as such you can tag your documents with any Meta-Data you want. Of course, entries are indexed and thus findable again. If you have any questions please let me know (I am not actively monitoring this forum so your best thing is to head over to our forums http://forums.sixsigns.com or leave a comment at http://www.razuna.com). Thank you.

Re: Open Source Document Management System
I am always confused by dual-licensed "Free software". I don't understand how you can distribute the same software with two different licenses, and still enforce the letter of the AGPLv3... (Which is used to give the recipient of the code the same rights to distribution as the original creator).

Re: Open Source Document Management System
http://www.razuna.com/ It's a bit more then a simple document management system (It's creators refer to it as a "Digital Asset Management System"), but it's open-source and runs flawlessly on OpenBD.
