Am I reading the Bakery Terms of Service
(http://bakery.cakephp.org/pages/terms) correctly? They sound
extremely restrictive:
--Only personal use of Bakery content is permitted ("noncommercial
and personal use only")
--You can't modify any Bakery material without written permission
("You agree not to reproduce, modify, create derivative works from...")
--You lose ownership of anything you contribute to the Bakery ("all
content ... [is] the property of Cake Software Foundation")
This makes any code posted on the Bakery far less useful. I'm
surprised at this apparent restrictiveness, since the license for
CakePHP itself is much more open.
I think the point of the terms here is to prevent articles and code samples from being presented in books, other websites, magazines, etc.. without permission from the Cake Foundation. When you contribute content to the Bakery it does and should be considered a "donation" to the cake foundation. I would like to see a CakePHP book published someday where the content of the Bakery is a main contributor. Having all rights to the content belong to the CakePHP foundation makes this possible.
Members of the core CakePHP team should be able to clarify this however.
I think it is helpful to give some specific examples of what the creators of the agreement interpret the terms to be. A paragraph similar to...
The following are examples of specific interpretations of these terms in specific situations. These are only examples and these terms are not limited to these examples.
- Example 1
- Example 2
- Example 3
That way there would be less knee jerk reactions as the intent of terms of use statements.
