I'm confused what selling an open source project would even mean in this context?

- slashnull 12y agoYeah, they were too, it seems; there a slide asking the author himself whether the code, the copyrights, the logos, or just what exactly was sold. No answer was provided.
- mikefaille 12y agoFor example, RedHat, Cisco, Suse (Novell), Alfresco, Wordpress, Drupal, etc. Can sold their Free Software project. You can have it free. And it's ok. But having success is possible too (recheck my examples). You can refuse to pay. But, if you want support : $$$ for value++. (you just buy the brand) See this for more info https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.en.html https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.en.html
- kaoD 12y agoI wish people would tell you what's wrong with your comment instead of downvoting you into oblivion. Sorry, sometimes HN sucks. There's a great difference between selling access to your software and selling your project itself, i.e. the copyright assigned to your code and/or logos, trademarks, etc.
- Macha 12y agoAs far as I understand it, things owned by the Bukkit team (i.e. servers, bukkit.org) and the rights to the code owned by the 4 core devs who were hired.
