Layzee: You have done a good job, which is the reason that your work is being attractive. That is not a bad thing at all, imo...
As for AGPL, that is the license we're licensed under, have been licensed under since the release of v7 and we will continue to be licensed under AGPL. That is the explicit wish of our founder and I can't see any reason for us to change this.
v7 was released way back in August 2008, which means that our "new" licene isn't that new, half of the time we have existed we've been licensed under GPL v2, the latter half we have been licensed under AGPL v3.
We changed licenses on August 11 2008, see here:
http://www.php-fusion.co.uk/news.php?...admore=418As for me writing any offensive texts about our license, licensees, forget it. I do respect each and every contributor to this CMS, but fact of the matter is that we're licensed under an Open Source license with a strong protection for the copyright holder and also for Open Source software as such, since all code you change and use to interact with other users with over a network, you must share with the users you interact with and that in itself secures that code changed by users get back out to the community.
We have a solid solution for Open Source and other solutions when it comes to licenses and they are not up for debate, really.
We will not change our licenses. And we hope that talented users like Layzee and others will keep on doing great stuff in the future, thus strengthening Open Source even further.
If you wish to keep your code to yourself, well, AGPL is not the proper license for anybody. Then again, why having a problem sharing when using Open Source products?
