> You seem to be suggesting that he license intended to only restrict sales of software/services which have no substantial source of value besides the upstream software, but that's not how it's actually written
As far as I understand the license clearly permits me to:
-Use the licensed software internally.
-Modify the licensed software.
-Share my modifications.
-Write software that connects direcly to the licensed software, with no restrrictions on my software (unlike AGPL)
-From this it follows that I can license my software that uses the licensed software any way I want.
-I'm not sure if I will be allowed to bundle the licensed software with my software,
-But it should be allowed to say that the user as to install the licensed software and run it for my software to work.
-Sharing the licensed software in a bundle (e.g. Linux distro) seems to be OK as long as I don't charge for it. This probably will need to be sorted out for Redhat etc.
Please correct me if any of the above is incorrect. I might have misunderstood it but this was my best understanding.
