  2. Here is the issue by tilly · · Score: 2 · on Hole in GNU GPL?

    One type of company rising to prominence is the "Application Service Provider". Now suppose that I am an application service provider and I want to enjoy the benefits of open source. So I GPL a bunch of my software, my competitor takes it, modifies it, and then I find out that I have no right to ask for the modifications back! This means that I put myself out on a limb but did not get the protection that I hoped to get from the GPL.

    You glossed over this issue with a guestbook application. Something inherently trivial and unimportant. Now suppose that the application was an order processing application? Or something like Open Sales? (The latter is a very realistic example since it is under a GPL BTW.)

    These are non-trivial but fundamentally oriented towards use in an environment where redistribution of the software does not matter so much as getting others to use your server...

    Cheers,
    Ben

  3. Re:Talk to IdeaLab (parent company) too by shinji · · Score: 1 · on No EToy for Christmas

    Anyone noticed that IdeaLab owns OpenSales, makers of OpenMerchant (open source e-commerce program). I think it is apporiate to boycott this free software also.

  6. OpenSales by x+mani+x · · Score: 4 · on Open Source E-Business Solutions?

    There is a package that seems to be under development called "OpenSales", an open-source e-commerce solution. It is being developed by IdeaLab.

    Magic-SW also looks interesting.

    Here's a link to a Slashdot post about the above, you might find some of the responses helpful: http://slashdot.org/articles/99 /09/29/2048229.shtml.

    Personally, I'll keep using XEmacs, apache, perl, php, and MySQL as my "e-commerce solution". :)
