Ahh I see that License file in the Server download as well. I know that the
GPL, especially version 3, is meant to be as respecting of user freedom as
possible. But what is it that makes the Apache License unacceptable in 100%
Libre Software?
I skimmed through the License file, and did find this bit:
Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
meet the following conditions:
(a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or

(b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
stating that You changed the files; and
(c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
the Derivative Works; and
Is it the last part (c), about patents and copyrights and such that makes the
Apache License unacceptable?
I mainly love seafile so far for how I can easily break my synced files up
into "Libraries" and encrypt each of them separately with individual
passwords for each different than my main account password. And can choose
which of these libraries I want to be synced to what computers. Which helps
sooo much when using this Live USB ( of which I am using to write this :-D )
And best of all, the Seafile site offers 5gb free accounts. Which is a must
until I learn enough to run my own server, whether it be with ownCloud or
Seafile. Tried a free account on a hosted ownCloud site, the site was really
slow, and the desktop client was really buggy. So I am thanking God that I
found a alternative to UbuntuOne that seems to be atleast mostly freedom
respecting. Including the Server.
