LOL, so funny, make me nearly fall from my chair :) You do not really know what Shinken is isn't it? When I say it's a fork, I do not mean I take Nagios code, change the licence (and I'm totally agree that's not possible to change Nagios license, hopefully ;) ) and say : "Hey, I'm totally something totally different". I did not "steal" code (even if I do not like the "steal" usage in a open source context).
No. It's a TOTAL reimplementation of the code! I do not take a SINGLE line of the Nagios code. Only the documentation (in fact the doc from monitoring-fr, you know, the ex nagios-fr...) and this part got a LICENSE file of GPLV2. (you should look at this docbook documentation, very good docbook format by the way). Now in fact I better understand why you treat us as a "bad" fork : we are not really a fork in the classic way as Icinga does. We are a reimplementation of the same ideas in another programming langage. And I don't think monitoring ideas get patent so there is no problem here. You can get the code at http://shinken.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=shinken/shinken;a=summary Stop talking to us like a trolling fork, we are far more than this. This project objective is not to kill Nagios, it's even the opposite and maybe one day you will see it. But we are getting closer to the code, it's good step forward :) I hope talk about technical aspects so much with Ethan! At least something useful for the community and it's something I wanted to talk about from nearly a year. Jean PS: thanks for the AGLv3 typo. PS2: thanks Tracy :) PS3 : still no announce of seedcamp in nagios-devel mailing list, I think there are a lot of project waiting such announce.
