Our support for GNU/GPL and licensed softwares under that
We're so sorry for those who misuse about GNU/GPL and don't honor those who are trying to develop these products
This toic is to announce iranian support for GNU/GPL rules and released softwares under that. It is a warning for those persons and groups who are trying to take advantage of these products
any one should know if any software licensed under GPL has been used as a base for a non GNU/GPL software package, even if this package is for intranet usage, people they did it they brake the license.
It is like stealing a car, change it's color and present it as yours.
You are NOT allowed to modify the software license in any case even if you keep it for your own use.
Creating a deriviative work using an existing Free Open Source Project released under the GNU/GPL, that you offer again under the GNU/GPL, is another case and another case is the derivative work not to follow the GNU/GPL license guidelines but offered as a closed source commercial project.
The first case is totally legal. You can even charge for distribution cost (not sell the product itself. You could sell it, only if it was written totally by you from scratch.). GNU/GPL permits that. All you have to do is release it under the GNU/GPL, keep the code open and accessible, distribute code with the application and let people have access to your project. Let people know from where your project came.
The second case is illegal as it breaks the GNU/GPL. Especially in the case we are talking about, what was odd was that visiting sites, there was not a single word in English. That is very odd for a project that wants to call itself Open Source. How can people help you when they do not understand who you are and what are you asking. Unless, you do not want the project to be open source and try to hide things from public.
If you break the GNU/GPL license you must be ready to face the consequences of the law
The absolute majority of the people in Iran are against these immoral and misbehaves regarding abuse of licensed products under GNU/GPL and condemns these kinds of activities.
It would be better if we mention GNU/GPL conditions and rules; the usage of it once again here in both languages farsi and english:
Farsi link
English link
Those who are in agreement with these cases, state their approval
