Re: [Leaf-devel] Affiliates
Just some observations about my interpretation of the GPL. Perhaps they won't be terribly popular, but hopefully it'll make a few people *think*. IANAL, I am a software engineer. I am also not an OSS zealot. My philosophy tends more towards Cluetrain than anything else.

I am against adding one or two packages to a stock GPL'ed release and selling it as opposed to simply selling the package that they are offering. The current development of anti-virus/email-scanning for commercial use is an example of something that is fine with me they are selling their own code/package. Then perhaps the license you are desiring is not the GPL. The GPL _does_ allow binaries to be sold[1] just as long as the distributor also provides machine readable source[2] in a similar fashion -- downloadable if the binary was available online, on physical media if the binary was distributed on physical media, etc. [There is no requirement for an exact parallel, just similarity and machine readable]. The reason that most GPL'd software is free-as-in-beer is that once it's in the wild, who's going to pay for it? And if there's a value proposition without need for charging for the binary or source in the first place, why do it? IMHO, you cannot restrict anybody from taking your GPL'd package and codistributing it with a closed source binary. There is nothing in the GPL that prevents your scenario as long as they honor the rules of the GPL, ie. providing source for all the open source bits that make up the distribution. Worse, if it is not apparent how to get that source from you, they can cause a lot of trouble. Wording your license to prevent this case is itself a violation of the GPL. One more point to ponder. What if the whizzy closed source application were a piece of hardware? Would you object to Fred's Router Appliances, Inc. shipping a free copy of LEAF, including source and development environment with every box? The GPL is, at best, an insurance policy. Insurance that your code will live as long it's useful enough to somebody willing to maintain it. Perhaps you'd prefer Shared Source? ... Didn't think so. John [1] Up to the cost of distribution.

I think Mathew Grant was the only one to include package source along with .lrp packages he produced. AFAIK, in my understanding the SRC should be availiable where the binary is downloaded (linked is acceptable). Script is it's own SRC code. We've avoided problems by readily making the code available when requested (via mailing-list), though this probably isn't legal per the license. I believe all of Charles' packages are availiable legally since he links the src from the package download area of his site. The SRC does _not_ have to be available within the package itself.

Very true, I was simply giving my opinion and personal feelings, not a legal interpretation to the license. I am free to give my blessing and encouragement to whomever I want. I did not make this clear, which I apologize for. A company could very easily do something like this legally, but I would not encourage it. One more point to ponder. What if the whizzy closed source application were a piece of hardware?

I believe the company is giving due credit to the software in this instance. If they claimed the software was entirely theirs, I would feel otherwise. I believe that the GPL states that you cannot modify existing GPL code and license it as closed-source.

My original concerns where over their use of LEAF VPN packages (IPSec, PPTP, CIPE, etc...) only on their for-sale releases and promoting these packages with web-configuration as the reason to buy it. If I interpreted the response correctly, they are not using LEAF VPN packages, but rather some other closed-source VPN program instead. My other concern(s), is their use of incorperating Bering and Dachstein IDE, CD-ROM, and wireless code into the sale-only products w/o making a similar product available for free (only the floppy is free and not in development anymore as I understand it). Any concerns over the use of Dachstein and Bering code in this way should be expressed by the respective authors. In closing, if your planning to sell code, then write it and sell what is yours (or largely yours) to sell. If your not planning to write much code, but need to make money, do it with consulting and the labor that you personally put in.
