CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I was reading up on the AGPL and GPL tonight (a developer queried why Drupal doesn't list CiviCRM in their projects directory).

The FAQ seems to discuss the differences between AGPL and GPL, but doesn't specify which version of the AGPL CiviCRM is licensed under.

A few questions arose:

1. The unmodified source links to CiviCRM in the footer of each template. If I've been asked to simplify the layout, and as part of this remove the link from the CiviCRM footer to download the source, is this permitted? (Only our internal users would ever see this link anyway.)

2. Is CiviCRM released under the GNU Affero GPL v3? Will it be?

2(d) seems to be talking about exactly this, but perhaps I'm reading too much into it. (It's 4am, and I'm never going to be a lawyer.)

"If the Program as you received it is intended to interact with users through a computer network and if, in the version you received, any user interacting with the Program was given the opportunity to request transmission to that user of the Program's complete source code, you must not remove that facility from your modified version of the Program or work based on the Program, and must offer an equivalent opportunity for all users interacting with your Program through a computer network to request immediate transmission by HTTP of the complete source code of your modified version or other derivative work."

Thanks

Thanks for clarifying that - it's what I interpreted that clause as specifying, but I wanted to be certain.
