Hello,
I have been working on a Magnolia presentation for the University
of Utah. In addition to the presentation, I plan to host a web
page documenting magnolia deployment in OS X and a package
installer for Magnolia including a customized version of the
Magnolia Web Content Management System that includes the magnoliaQT
modules.
I haven't really modified any code, I've just included a readme.txt
and the magnoliaQT modules, included a startup script for tomcat,
and wrapped them up in an installer application. I wanted to
check to make sure that providing this customized version of
Magnolia for public download isn't violating any of the license
agreements applicable to the Magnolia Project. I can provide you
with any of the files if necessary.
Thanks for your time and a great CMS!
Foremost, thanks for taking the time to bundle these things up and
for your question.
Generally I think its not a good idea to have "unofficial"
distributions, for a number of reasons (no time for details on this).
Its definitely discouraged from our side.
But in particular, you might have problems license-wise not with
magnolia itself (which is LGPL) but with the quicktime libraries. We
have an agreement with Apple that allows us to redistribute these,
and I assume you would need the same.
Why not join the magnoliaQT team, I am sure that Thomas would be very
happy for each additional member, even if its "only" to provide a
nice installer package, like you did. You could then provide it
directly through magnolia's official distribution channel, which
would solve all problems and then some.
