@fontana so Red Hat missed the opportunity to set up a level playing field like e.g. Linux's, furthering proprietary forks instead :-( -

@fontana I don't get that argument. ALv2 doesn't take away any doubt that the software will remain free in the future; quite opposite -

@fontana I was a contractor with “Cygnus, a Red Hat company” for a couple of years, but employment came later, after Red Hat arrived in .br -

@lxoliva I see email addresses for you on archaic web pages that say lxoliva at #cygnus dot com. Was that post-acquisition? -

@cwebber maybe ALGPL would be a more suitable acronym, although it might be mistaken for some Arabic license ;-) -

@fontana if not, the solution is for the rightsholder to not be a company... -

Doesn't CloudFoundry depend on VMWare, though? -
fontana (fontana)'s status on Tuesday, 01-May-2012 15:08:48 EDT fontana
@lxoliva the desire is for this code to become the standard. Only other FLOSS PaaS project I know of is #CloudFoundry; uses ALv2 as well -
fontana (fontana)'s status on Tuesday, 01-May-2012 15:06:59 EDT fontana
@lxoliva issue is, can you trust a company to release new software under #GPL given widespread abuse of GPL by proprietary relicensors -
fontana (fontana)'s status on Tuesday, 01-May-2012 15:05:54 EDT fontana
@lxoliva oh I thought you were a #Cygnus employee for some reason -
lxoliva (lxoliva)'s status on Tuesday, 01-May-2012 12:48:57 EDT lxoliva
@fontana trust on whom or what? I don't know what issue it is to tell whether I understand it ;-) never been a Cygnus employee BTW -
lxoliva (lxoliva)'s status on Tuesday, 01-May-2012 12:46:59 EDT lxoliva
@fontana thanks. from that, I infer there were other contenders to such a standard, but OpenShift sounded unique to me. what did I miss? -

I don't think AGPL was a mistake for StatusNet. -

I agree that Apache 2.0 is a good license for software trying to set up new networks and ecosystems. -
Evan Prodromou (evan)'s status on Monday, 30-Apr-2012 22:00:46 EDT Evan Prodromou
YES. I agree. -
fontana (fontana)'s status on Monday, 30-Apr-2012 20:59:31 EDT fontana
@cwebber yeah it would have been something more like #AGPL + additional permissions. Pwnage problem though, MediaGoblin not enough. -

Btw, I thought "APLv2" meant Apache License v2 but that's probably wrong. I blame @evan or my misreading of http://ur1.ca/954rj -

Los Angeles General Public License #LAGPL -
cwebber (cwebber)'s status on Monday, 30-Apr-2012 18:44:31 EDT cwebber
ie, APLv2 makes sense to me here, from my vague understanding. -
cwebber (cwebber)'s status on Monday, 30-Apr-2012 18:44:08 EDT cwebber
@lxolivia OpenShift involves deployment scripts and etc right? LAGPL might make more sense, but AGPL might require releasing system scripts?
