What are the implications of the AGPL license for this (if any)?
- oopsthrowpass 3y agomy understanding is that you can't sell this cloud as a service (AWS would not be able to use it)
- count 3y agoSure they can, they just have to make the code available that is in what they deploy.
- meonkeys 3y agoIt means all derivative works of microcloud must also be licensed AGPL (if someone else "links" other software into it, makes modifications and re-distributes, they must provide those modifications, etc). Any company can sell microcloud, but it must remain AGPL. This license choice is a defense against microcloud being assimilated into proprietary products. (Now I'll guess at the motivation of your original question. Lemme know if I missed your point...) The AGPL doesn't apply to any containers or VMs running in a microcloud any more than Ubuntu's licensing applies to programs you run on Ubuntu.
