Hi there,<br>
<br>
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. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.rapid-is.co.uk">http://www.rapid-is.co.uk</a> (for desktop and mobile,
check it out ;) ) <br>
<br>
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? <br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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?<br>
<br>
Many thanks,<br>
<br>
Gareth <br>
