I recently got aware that GPL allows anyone to modify (possibily slightly improve) Coocook and start another web service without providing their changes as free code. Sorry for the confusion but because of that I request to change the license another time.
My reasoning:
We want to choose the most restrictive license including copyleft in the first place. We can grant more rights to individuals or change to a more permissive license at any time. Going back from a permissive license is not possible–at least for already published code.
I'm happy with anyone using Coocook for free and would even help to run the service somewhere else but I don't want anyone to fork it and cut us off the progress.
@ChristinaSi Please ack the license change as you are listed as a contributor and have actually contributed parts of the code.
See section 13 in the /LICENSE file that is not in the GPL.
