Open Cloud Conundrum, Open Cloud Consortium
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the hot areas in 2008 was cloud computing, and 2009 looks likely to be
| a year that is equally occupied with the subject. But cloud computing
| represents something of a conundrum for the open source world.
|
| Much of it is built using free software infrastructure - naturally enough,
| since it scales well both in terms of performance and cost. But it's not
| clear from a legal viewpoint whether providing cloud computing services
| constitutes distributing software in the sense of traditional free software
| licences like the GNU GPL.

| In conclusion we will continue to access AGPL works into main subject to

GPLv3/AGPLv3 Adoption: If It Happened Too Fast, I'd Be Worried
,----[ Quote ]
| Since the release of GPLv3, technology pundits have been opining about how
| adoption is unlikely, usually citing Linux's still-GPLv2 status as (often
| their only) example. Even though I'm a pro-GPLv3 (and, specifically,
| pro-AGPLv3) advocate, I have never been troubled by slow adoption, as long as
| it remained on a linear upswing from release day onward (which it has).

AGPLMail - A new horizon?
,----[ Quote ]
| The new challenge for freesoftware enthusiasts is the menace called 'Cloud
| Computing' which is basically Software as a Service(SaaS) shrouded in a
| catchy name. The new licence AGPLv3 is framed precisely to counter this
| unhealthy trend.

AGPLv3 Keeps Open Source Vibrant in Age of SaaS
,----[ Quote ]
| For all practical purposes, the AGPLv3 is a key advance for everyone involved
| in open source, regardless of if you are a software developer, Internet end
| user or enterprise end user. The AGPLv3 closes the ASP loophole and keeps the
| freedom of open source software alive, in the age of SaaS and hosted
| applications.
