<div dir="ltr">So maybe we should wait for Larry Rosen to read and answer?<div><br></div><div>Precision: the module itself would not be distributed with the PrestaShop installer. It would be available as an optional module, that users would download and install afterward.</div><div><br></div><div>Of course, if the module is obfuscated, it is not open source. However, would it be possible to install it and run it with the core of a software distributed under OSL?</div><div><br></div><div>This is an interesting question regarding the "external deployment" clause: it seems that a visitor of a website built with PrestaShop can ask for the source code. Should we consider that as a way of distribution, and then, any module or theme used to build a website with PrestaShop should also be available under an OSL compatible license?</div><div><br></div><div>If yes, this is not possible to add an obfuscated extension/module to a running OSL software. What do you think?</div><div><br></div><div>The point here is not only the distribution/download, but also the execution of the software.</div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="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-spacing:0px;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><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Wed, 21 Nov 2018 at 17:14, Smith, McCoy <<a href="mailto:mccoy.smith@intel.com">mccoy.smith@intel.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
