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.
So, how do you become a "official" distribution?
We are basically wrapping up "official distributions" in an Mac OS X
package installer and with a startup item for Mac OS X users. We are
also, planning on developing a System Preference pane to allow
setting the magnolia path, port, start stop magnolia via a GUI, etc.
Once we have it to a point of public consumption we will post to the
list for feedback/suggestions/etc.
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.

Yes, we have emailed Thomas about including magnoliaQT with our
installer.
Thanks for you feedback.
