I had a brief conversation by email with Cory Doctorow , a science fiction author who is also a copyleft activist, who releases everything he writes with a CC license. He suggested, basically, find the publisher first, then talk about the license second. If, perchance, you might want to read it, drop me an email.)

Last week, I did at workshop for the Kellogg Action Lab College of Consultants. The participants were consultants who worked with nonprofits on organizational strategic planning, financial planning, evaluation, and other organizational capacity areas. So, once I got home, I put a question out to my Twitter network.

It would not be as cost-effective (and thus, not produce as much profit) if these SaaS developers had to pay license fees for the software they use (besides the fact that these are the most stable and robust platforms to build upon.) It’s my understanding that none of the major non-profit SaaS players use open source tools.

Can we build a library of OpenSocial applications that have open source licenses? It seems to me that many organizations are going to have very similar needs in terms of kinds of applications. Anyone interested? Maybe this is the use for opensocialorg.org! :-) { 2 comments… read them below or add one } 1 Devdas Bhagat 11.22.07

In fact, pretty much every open source project that has gone commercial, or had a change in license, caused a fork, pretty much killing the original (like Mambo, or XFree86.) They have had an active user community, many of which, I imagine, are going elsewhere.

I stopped at the license agreement. I might regret hosing the recovery media w/o getting them on CD later, but I hope not – I was in a purist mood – I would have had to have agreed to the license agreement for Vista and activated the product in order to burn the media, and I wasn’t about to do that.)

But I’m sure that their services pricing has been adjusted to account for loss of licensing revenue. Without the s/w to install it (and strongly suspecting that doing so just to “check it out&# is a waste of time), I have to believe that their goal here is to get clients to buy services. Which is fine. 2 Tompkins Spann 03.21.08

Unlike the others, that are released under varied open source licenses, the code for SQLite is public domain. I’d argue that PostgreSQL is a better choice, but for most nptech applications, it doesn’t matter – what matters is what your tech/consultant knows, and that’s much more likely to be MySQL.

Just threatening to sue, threatening to get license fees (which, for some open source projects would be a major problem) is enough to make people doubt the future of open source. It’s “Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt&# all over again. Of course, the 800 pound gorilla doesn’t actually have to sue anyone.

So, this particular organization came to us—as I said, their management team—and consulted with us. I think that’s probably a good question for your HR department, or a consultant or whatever, or legal counsel, to navigate those issues. He’s not going to consult anyone. But there definitely are issues to pay attention to there.
