AGPL is a little controversial, to warn. So far, I think it's likely that organizations such as Debian will continue to consider it sufficiently free, but it's a bit odd in its requirements and depending on how one reads it, some people think that it's onerous for a developer who wanted to make private modifications. I'm not sure it's a big enough problem to warrant not using it, but it's something to be aware of. It makes people more nervous than the GPL does. -- Russ Allbery (r...@stanford.edu) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
