This is weird, since what they are suggesting is actually what the
purpose was of their open source exemption.</blockquote>
<br>
Yes, that is how I understood that exception as well. Who cares, we
have git it back.<br>

Would work for me as well. <br>

Thanks for the feedback.<br>

PSC-members,<br class="">
<br class="">
As I have discussed with you (<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://www.geoext.org/pipermail/psc/2016-January/000194.html"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.geoext.org/pipermail/psc/2016-January/000194.html">http://www.geoext.org/pipermail/psc/2016-January/000194.html</a></a>),
I went on to negotiate our licensing options
with the Sencha people.<br class="">
<br class="">
Here is a short recap of the current situation:<br
class="">
<ul class="">
<li class="">Since the Exception for OSS is no
longer existing, GeoExt switched to be
licensed as GPL software (<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://github.com/geoext/geoext3/pull/16"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/geoext/geoext3/pull/16">https://github.com/geoext/geoext3/pull/16</a></a>)<br
class="">
</li>
<li class="">This might be problematic when
people want to use GeoExt code with their
correctly bought licensed software</li>
</ul>
<p class="">After some back and forth a Sencha
official proposed the following:<br class="">
</p>
<blockquote class="">
<p class="">> So if geoExt does not include
our code, you could dual license it GPLv3
and Apache - the GPLv3 version to go with
Ext JS GPLv3 and the Apache version to go
with Ext JS commercial for closed source
uses. You'd probably want to make this
clear to your users so they get the right
version and don't wind up with GPL issues.
Apache could be Apache, MIT, BSD, free
commercial, or anything that allows you to
combine it with other work and go closed
source (technically, going closed source is
redistributing under a commercial license).
<br class="">
</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="">Effectively this would mean that we
would dual license GeoExt, and the license of
the actually used ExtJS determines which
license from GeoExt actually applies to your
code.<br class="">
</p>
<p class="">I personally feel this is a
wonderful option we get back from Sencha here
and I am very grateful that they offer us this
in my communication with them.<br class="">
</p>
<p class="">Here is a rough outline what we
could do starting from now:<br class="">
</p>
<ul class="">
<li class="">Decide on whether we want to be
dual licensed as outlined above (A simple
+1, 0, -1 vote of the PSC in response to
this mail would be enough, I guess)</li>
<li class="">Decide which other license suits
our need. Since Apache was brought up by
Sencha, I'd be willing to take that one</li>
<li class="">Discuss the wording of how we
document the licensing everywhere (Sencha
and I have talked this through but in the
end we decide and simply make it totally
cklear to our users)<br class="">
</li>
<li class="">Provide PR that actually does the
change</li>
<ul class="">
<li class="">We should make it absolutely
clear what the options are (see above)<br
class="">
</li>
<li class="">We should document this at
several places</li>
<ul class="">
<li class="">LICENSE.md at the repository
root<br class="">
</li>
<li class="">LICENSE-FAQ.md at the
repository root<br class="">
</li>
<li class="">every source-file header</li>
<li class="">on the homepage</li>
<li class="">some other place?<br class="">
</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<li class="">Do we need to get the
appreciation of all actual committers again?</li>
</ul>
<p class="">What are your thoughts?<br class="">
</p>
<p class="">Best,<br class="">
Marc<br class="">
<br class="">
</p>
<p class="">PS: Once this is settled, I really
want to have a v3.0.0 released. And then
switch to a release often-strategy. But thats
stuff for another day.<br class="">
