Hi there,

The London Borough of Camden, here in the UK, are keen proponents of Open Source and have sponsored the creation of a drag and drop app builder, Rapid. http://www.rapid-is.co.uk (for desktop and mobile, check it out ;) )

The big thing everyone wants to know (and no-one seems to be able to answer), is are the apps made with Rapid also Open Source, i.e. are app creators obliged to share the code and files for apps they've made using Rapid with the rest of the Rapid community?

Rapid currently has a GPLv3 license with no further special provisions. If the Rapid apps themselves were automatically Open Source this would really benefit local government.

I'm wondering would this happen automatically (as a Rapid app can't run without the Rapid platform)? Or would there need to be an addition to the license? Or is ensuring all apps made with Rapid are shared even permissible with GPLv3, or any other Open Source license?

Many thanks,

Gareth
