Re: Questions about the future of ofbiz

This is not true. 

The agreement in question covered the disposition of a list of files 
from the old accountingext repository.  It stated that a subset of the 
files from that repository would be released under the GPL after all 
copyright had been transferred to us (Open Source Strategies, Inc.)  It 
did not commit us to creating a new repository or module, undertaking 
any further enhancement to those files, or releasing future versions of 
those files.  Those files were already released under the GPL, and we 
have satisfied all the terms of the agreement.

Actually it's more complicated than that... Technically Open Source 
Strategies has a signed contract to license the financials module at 
least under the GPL license because of the history of the early 
development of it, so they shouldn't be distributing it under the HPL 
license. We haven't pushed them on that, but that is in a real legal 
document. The crmsfa one on the other hand is not so encumbered.
