" Lutris' makes money by selling software products. Lutris Enhydra is the commercial version of open source Enhydra. They are mostly the same, but Lutris Enhydra has additional samples, doc, some features, etc.
Our intent was to do the same with a full J2EE application server. After a year of negotiations and some large legal bills, however, we have determined that we cannot move forward with an open source J2EE project. The J2EE specification and brand is controlled by the SCSL license. ?Signing the SCSL license is important to Lutris for a number of reasons. It gives us legal right to create product that adheres to the J2EE specification. It also gives us access to the test suite that will allow us to claim compliance. While J2EE compliance and branding may not be important to some in the open source community, it is important to commercial customers. It is these customers that keep Lutris in business and allow us to continue the support of Enhydra.org.
The SCSL license says many things. One of them is that code, code modifications, test results, etc., may not be shared with non-licensees. This means that once we sign the SCSL license we cannot share anything under the J2EE definition with the open source community. This means that we can no longer host Enterprise. This is not our choice, it is the language of the license. " (dixit le CEO de Lutris)
En clair: on ne peut partager du code sous license SCSL qu'avec des gens qui sont licensiés SCSL. Et donc en particulier, on ne peut pas avec la communauté OpenSource.
JBoss s'assoit dessus, simplement, mais Lutris, société commerciale américaine (le paradis des avocats), ne peut pas....
D'ailleurs, Jonas (qui d'ailleurs est très lié à Enhydra Entreprise), d'Evidian, est-il complètement OpenSource (au sens FSF du terme évidemment) ? J'ai un peu tout entendu et son contraire à ce sujet... Quelqu'un bosse chez Evidian ici ?
