Thank you. A good read. But it contradicts the article posted by
Cédric earlier and attempts to make it seem very simple where the
other article says everything but.

So have I learned anything?
You learned that it is a complicated matter that even lawyers have a
hard time dealing with it.
Hi Michael, I do believe you got it right, though. Open Source only
benefits the user. Not the developer. So it is your loss and your
clients win.
Perhaps. But the real result is that the client will be out more
money because I will have to re-invent what was otherwise available
in the GPL program.
Or your customer can choose someone who will create almost the same
program using Tryton but who do not have problem with redistributing
it under the GPL. And it will cost him way less than with you.
So who really won?
In the case I describe above, your ex-customer, the other IT company
and (maybe) the Tryton community.
