Actually the AGPL doesn't prevent you from competing with a fork, as long as that fork is also open. Also as far as the contract goes, it's only if you want to contribute code back to Diaspora project and have it become part of canonical co

The use of the term "the Cloud" is basically for anything that's not the traditional way of requesting and utilizing IT resources (aka rigid, pre-allocated, persistent and more than likely tied to physical systems). And that's probably why

One of the issues you'll run into is that if you do make the day-to-day progress available, someone will expect you to support it. You'll either need to explicitly say that it's "use at your own risk" or have to make sure that the exposed "

One key thing to remember is that for commercial spaces, you are bound to the text of the contract. If it's in there, you've agreed to it. If it's not, then don't count on it. This differs significantly from residential where you can't sign
