Connects to #39

phkrief commented 6 years ago

@craig-mulligan , @geomic, Based on (1) the description of this module and (2) the contributors which are not only Resin.io, I don't understand why you decided to set the license to Apache. In my understanding, the only code specifically developed by Resin.io and extending the ResinOS will be under the Apache license or dual license. Do I miss something here? Did you inform the other contributors like @nopbyte ?

Thanks

@phkrief, I read the #39 where you said - resin.io was planning to use only EPL or Apache license? so I choose Apache, I wasn't at any of the licensing meetings, so @geomic please can you confirm which license to use here?

phkrief commented 6 years ago

@craig-mulligan , So, finally, this component is also part of ResinOS? Did you talk with @geomic ? Our final proposal was: any extension of ResinOS could/should stay in your current/default Resin.io repo with the Apache 2.0 license. Anything else, specifically developed for AGILE should be under the EPL 2.0 license to be easily pushed as an initial contribution to the project. Wayne beaton would like to avoid to manage a secondary license in a separate project.

If you don't get the point, as I already suggested, I will be more than happy to have a call with you to clarify it. Thanks for your understanding

FYI @cskiraly

@phkrief are you joining us in Brussels next week to briefly touch on this?

This isn't part of resinOS -- apologies as a couple pending items were closed as Craig was sorting out loose ends.

Either way, I still think wires are crossed still, with regards to licensing. I understood from the call that there was no issue at all with a dual license (EPL 2 and Apache 2), and agreement from Wayne that we could merely flag the AGILE repos here, and later AGAIL repos, as such (dual licensed).

We communicated a summary over email, with what essentially was discussed in the call:

Let us know if this changes for some reason.
