Scott,
That license only requires you to deliver your private source codes if you:
1. Change original codes licensed under GPL
2. Distribute/sell the new package.
Say you enhance OpenTaps for your own use, and you call the new package MyOwnApp. If you only ever
use MyOwnApp in your own computers, and never distribute/sell MyOwnApp, you will never have to
release the source codes in MyOwnApp.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong?

I've looked at Opentaps and agree that it would be a good start and it is in
fact how I got to ofbiz originally but I would like to see it in the core of
ofbiz.
As I understand it at the moment, opentaps is distributed with a totally
different license and while I don't know all of the legal ramifications, I
am told by the people that I trust most that it would be a mistake for me to
start developing industry specific extensions based on that license.
While I am am not opposed to sharing enhancements and giving back to the
community, my industry specific mods are going to be for me only. I hope you
understand.

David,
Like I said, I am a user plain and simple so I can’t get into all of the
technical side of things. All I know is that I would like a CRM portion
of
ofbiz similar to how Sugar CRM works but with a good and solid email
client
built in. I guess it would take someone with the interest and technical
ability to put the requirements together first.
That said, I can only contribute with my wants and needs and some cash.
I'd
be willing to throw $1000 into the hat to get this type of functionality.
Where do I go from here?
Have you looked at the Opentaps CRM-SFA modules for ofBiz?
https://demo.opensourcestrategies.com:8445/crmsfa/control/login
It's fully integrated with ofBiz and has a Ajax style email client.
Maybe what you need is already available. If it's not, I'd like to hear
what you
need that I may not have already considered.
