Lisencing question #580

Closed lexoyo closed 1 year ago

lexoyo commented 1 year ago

Hello

I'm currently working on the next major version of Silex free and open source no-code website builder which is GPL lisenced

For this new version, I am thinking of integrating with filestash, probably just an integration of the API: on 1 side offering a free unchanged instance of filestash for the users, on another side offering a free version of silex settup to load and save from filestash API

This would be done by creating a filestash plugin for grapesjs framework, making filestash a nice ready to use backend for grapesjs-based website builders

My question is: is it possible? Silex is GPL, includes grapesjs which is MIT, talking to filestash (AGPL) with a plugin which can be anything... :exploding_head:

I guess there's 2 parts to this:

  1. my point of view: yes sure go ahead, it sounds awesome and if Filestash could help another fellow OSS developer, that's super cool
  2. the actual legal view: I have frankly no idea and have as much interest in legal and licensing than floor moping techniques so I can really help on that.

Haha yeah I feel u !!! Mopping is very cool indeed ;d

Thank you for your answer

I'll probably do what's convenient and face whatever consequences there could be :)

As we say in French "c'est au pied du mur qu'on voit le mieux le mur" (that's when you are in the wall that you see best the wall?)

Thank you, let's make great open source tools!!
