Shapado, a FOSS replacement for stackoverflow
,----[ Quote ]
| For this reason, we are releasing our stackoverflow inspired
| project following the Franklin Street Statement on Freedom and
| Network Services which consists in:
|
| * Using the GNU Affero GPL.
|
| * Developing freely-licensed alternatives to existing popular
| but non-Free network services.
|
| * Developing software that can replace centralized services
| and data storage with distributed software and data
| deployment, giving control back to users.

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.

AGPL: Open Source Licensing in a Networked Age
,----[ Quote ]
| Itâs tempting, then, to ask what problem is being solved by the Affero GPL.
| But that would be facetious, and would serve to trivialize what could be a
| real problem for some projects. Projects that are considerably less visible
| than Linux or MySQL, for example, might require the protection that the AGPL
| affords. For them, closing the loophole might seem like a life or death
| matter. The difficulty will be in determining which the license will
| guarantee: even as AGPL licensed protects are protected from those that would
| use them without contributing, it also represents an insurmountable barrier
| to entry for some potential players.
|
| Iâm glad then that the Affero GPL is an option, but Iâm with Mark Radcliffe:
| I wouldnât look for it to compete with the GPL any time soon.
