<div dir="ltr">Hello,<div><br></div><div>This is my first message to this mailing list and I hope I will do things well.</div><div><br></div><div>I am Developer Advocate at PrestaShop. Our company and project is focused around our open source ecommerce solution. Thanks to the openness of the project, we have built a strong ecosystem of agencies, freelances, contributors, and of course, merchants.</div><div><br></div><div>Currently, the project's core is distributed in OSL 3.0. And all the modules and themes are distributed in AFL 3.0. This a legacy choice, from the beginnings of the company 11 years ago.</div><div><br></div><div>I joined the PrestaShop company recently, with the aim of growing the developers community. And recently, we discussed with a developer who wants to contribute an interesting piece of code to the project: a new basic theme, with a lot of improvements, in a separate repository. This is quite new for us, and we would like to use this case as an example for future big contributions like this one (governance rules, license, code review, ...)</div><div><br></div><div>My problem: with this mix of OSL in the core and AFL for the modules and themes, I don"t know what license this repository should use.</div><div><br></div><div><div>The code in this new repository will be based on a piece of code in OSL from the core project. However, this specific part of the core will be used to create themes. And, most people distribute their themes and plugins in AFL, as this is what we asked from the beginnings.</div><div><br></div><div>So, I am looking for advice. If we want to be sure that the code in the new repository can be distributed in AFL, maybe we need to distribute a part of the core, or, the entire core, in double licence OSL + AFL ? Can we update the license of only a small part of the core project ? What do you think ?</div><div><br></div><div>Or, more difficult, do you think that we should change the licence of the core and the module to one license ? But which one ? This is actually difficult to find resources about OSL and AFL: only a few projects are using it.</div><div><br></div><div>Looking forward to hearing from you,</div><div><br></div><div>Antoine</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><br style="color:rgb(111,123,138);font-family:Arial;font-size:13px"><br style="color:rgb(111,123,138);font-family:Arial;font-size:13px"><table style="border-collapse:collapse;background-color:transparent;color:rgb(111,123,138);font-family:Arial;font-size:13px"><tbody><tr><td width="80" style="padding:0px"><a href="https://www.prestashop.com/?utm_source=signature&utm_medium=e-mail&utm_campaign=emails-signatures" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(13,99,143);outline:0px" target="_blank"><img src="http://img-cdn.prestashop.com/signatures/signature-logo.png" alt="PrestaShop" width="68" height="85" border="0" style="border: 0px; vertical-align: middle;"></a></td><td style="padding:0px"><p style="margin:0px;font-stretch:normal;font-size:15px;line-height:normal;font-family:"Open Sans",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(52,57,67)"><span style="font-weight:700">Antoine Thomas aka ttoine</span></p><p style="margin:0px 0px 4px;font-stretch:normal;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:"Open Sans",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(52,57,67)">Developer Advocate</p><p style="margin:0px 0px 4px;font-stretch:normal;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;font-family:"Open Sans",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(104,115,127)"><span style="display:inline-block">t: +33 (0)6 63 13 79 06</span></p><p style="margin:0px 0px 7px;font-stretch:normal;line-height:normal;font-family:"Open Sans",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(104,115,127)"><a href="mailto:antoine.thomas@prestashop.com" style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(104,115,127);outline:0px" target="_blank">antoine.thomas@prestashop.com</a></p></td></tr><tr><td colspan="2" height="10" style="padding:0px;font-size:1px"><br></td></tr></tbody></table><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
