Fork Mongoose using the last MIT-licensed commit #44

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Mongoose changed its license from MIT to GPL v2, see this topic:
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/mongoose-users/aafbOnHonkI/discussion

GPL v2 is would be bad for users creating commercial software, we have to fork
the Mongoose project up to the last commit that was still MIT-licensed.

Do you plan to make a new Phpdesktop wich contains : 
- the last Moongoose under MIT licensed (and not the new GPL)
- the chrome engine in order to be free to use modern javascript library and 
CSS3

PHP Desktop binaries that were released so far, already come with 
Mongoose under MIT license.

In regards to the Chrome engine see Issue 1.

We need clear whether or not we can use the latest version MITde Moongoose to 
finish and market our software?
This is a crucial question, therefore thank you for a legally acceptable answer.

@comment 5: Please ask question on the PHP Desktop Forum. Even though Mongoose 
changed its license to GPL, it is not retroactive, thus meaning that the code 
that was released before the GPL version was introduced is still legally MIT 
licensed.
