Hi all
I'm totally confused. :-(
If I use XWIKI, which is published under LGPL, am I allowed to write a module/plugin and not publish it or do I have to publish it under LGPL too?
AFAIK, yes you can write extensions and not publish them under an open source license.
If you make any modification to the current code though you'll have to share it with the community under the LGPL license.
At least this is my understanding (I'm not a license expert).
Thanks -Vincent
Hi,
Following this thread and looking for some more insight. Considering that we are trying to get support to develop XWiki extensions and share them with the community, under what license must we release these supposed, so far, extensions?
A simple example: a company/public body contract a work with our group. We would like to solve the ICT part of the problem with a solution based on XWiki. But we want to tell the client that any extension constructed over XWiki must be shared with the community. What license must we propose to the client to accept?
I don't know the answer but my feeling is that extensions can be released under the license you want. This needs to be checked of course. Anyone knows? Thanks -Vincent
