Entreprise license #18

Closed hunvreus closed 11 years ago

hunvreus commented 11 years ago

I am finalizing the review of the Entreprise license: we need to be able to start collecting subscriptions and provide support by ticket (enterprise.devo.ps) and email (enterprise@devo.ps).

Not sure if we shouldn't normalize our approach instead: Github had a separate domain + email because the product was fundamentally different. Should we do the same ?

hunvreus commented 11 years ago

I actually went ahead and changed these to support@devo.ps and support.devo.ps.

Updated at https://github.com/devo-ps/devo.ps/wiki/Enterprise-License. I'd like you all (@zbal, @makara and @quentinberder) to have a look, especially:

Would that make any difference if our image was not including Ansible in the box directly, but would be installed as a dependency only and would remain a non-modified version of the tool ?

hunvreus commented 11 years ago

It would make a difference but IMHO (and based on my discussion with Alex from Github) it would be bad for several reasons:

  1. It complexifies the install process for admins,
  2. It requires they accept our license plus Ansible's license (which in Apple case will be a no-go and many others will simply slow down or halt the sales process; many enterprise clients are still very restrictive when it comes to OSS),
  3. It will potentially expose some of our (lucrative) clients to Ansible (once they know it's Ansible base they may contact them for support or licensing info),
  4. It makes things more confusing in terms of who's the vendor and who supports what: right now it's only about devo.ps supporting/licensing everything. One vendor == good for enterprise, they don't want multiple vendors for support.

That make sense.

@gwoo Comments? I'd like to send that to Apple this week.

gwoo commented 11 years ago

My feeling is that we can simplify the whole license quite a bit. I am working on an update and plan to send full version and diff in less than 24hrs.

hunvreus commented 11 years ago

It's the enterprise one, so there's another license for the regular SaaS stuff. Don't overdo it: it's meant to be filled with legal Language. The version people sign up for online is way simpler.

gwoo commented 11 years ago

Should still be simple enough for a legal dept to signoff quickly. I went to law school so I have a hard time taking it easy on these things. ;)

hunvreus commented 11 years ago

Alright. That was heavily inspired from the Github license, after several discussions I had with Alex. Letting you show us the path on that one.

I had issues with and made changes to:

Hope this helps.

quentinberder commented 11 years ago

Went through it and I do not see anything that goes out of the ordinary or seems weird to me. Keep in mind, I have no legal experience.

hunvreus commented 11 years ago

Cleaning that up and sending to Apple tomorrow morning.

hunvreus commented 11 years ago

Done. Closing for now.
