<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Russell,</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you! I appreciate your patient responses to my various questions. This was very helpful for me in helping pin down your objection. While we may not agree on all the points, it is important for me to understand each objection to the CAL so as to see if I can respond to it in some way.</div><br></div><div dir="ltr">Based on what I am reading, you believe that the AGPL is incompatible with FLOSS values, so a license that attempts to 'be a better AGPL' (among other things), you also consider incompatible with FLOSS values. This is a reasonable and logical point of view, and I appreciate you expressing it.<br><div><br></div><div>
<div>Unfortunately, in this specific case, it seems there is a fundamental disagreement that cannot be resolved through modified drafting. While I have various reservations about the AGPL, I do not agree that the AGPL is inconsistent with FLOSS values, nor with the right of authors to choose this particular tradeoff in the copyleft-to-permissive spectrum.<br></div></div><div><br></div></div>Thanks,<br>Van<br><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div></div>
