Open-Xchange 0.8.2 CC+GPL license
Hi,
I'm working on a set of packages for Open-XChange and I would like to
know if it's current license made it able to enter non-free.
When I started to work on the package, I thought, that all Open-Xchange
files are covered by GPL but it turned out that the web interface were
copyrighted.
In the current stable version (0.8.2), the web interface is released
under CC "Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5" license and it had
some response from the community around open-xchange.
Now, the Open-XChange website contains a legal disclaimer that extends
the CC license and defines noncommercial use.
Martin Wuertele offered to sponsor me and upload the packages, but we
have to wait until the clarification of the licensing problem.
So please comment it wether the CC license + disclaimer allows the
inclusion of the open-xchange package in the official Debian packages
in the non-free section.
Regards,
Balint
