Note also that since it would be an in house corporate solution the
licence question could be completely irrelevant since it only applies
when distributing the software (but again IANAL).
Not that simple. Big corporations that are composed of historically
sub-companies works a bit like they were still separated and continue to
invoice the services internally, software distribution is still done and
GPL still applies.
OK but I doubt the company would sue itself.
Moreover I am not sure that it can legally be deemed as software
distribution (but as I said IANAL).
I searched in the forum history (should have done before posting,
sorry about that !) and I saw other questions about the license, it
was stated that Tryton is a fork from another project so indeed a
license change can't be done without having the written consent of
all the contributors (except if there's was a Contributor License
Agreement which I guess is not the case)
There's indeed no CLA has we think that it hinders the contributions
and it does not have advantages.
Practically, a single paragraph added to the license could allow
Tryton users to use the framework without being forced to use the GPL
license for their project, but the Tryton authors are not even free
to do this as long as they don't have the written consent of all
contributors.
Anyway I guess that Dominique Chabord answered my question, thank you
all for your time and have a good day !
There's indeed virtually no chance that the licence will be changed.
But my opinion is that the licence is not a problem in your case.
