Sencha link to the list of compatible licenses from their
licensing page: <a
href="https://www.sencha.com/legal/open-source-faq/">https://www.sencha.com/legal/open-source-faq/</a><br>
In the section "What licenses are compatible with GPL v3?" they
show BSD is compatible with GPLv3. <br>

<div style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;">thanks for pointing this out. GeoExt is not
affected by the change. There is no need to switch the GeoExt
License, the BSD License is perfectly compatible with GPL code:</div>

with the new ExtJS Licensing and to meet the License conditions.</div>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi all,<br>
<br>
From my point of view the main issue is with the ExtJS
licensing rather than GeoExt. Now an ExtJS license is >
$5,000 as they have to be bought in packs of 5 then our
systems are all now released as GPL.<br>
As I understand it, as long as the client (e.g. a government
department) is given the full source code, which is what most
require as part of a contract anyway, then this means the
terms of the GPL are met. I presume that "user" is the
organisation rather than a government employee that may
occasional access the system in a browser? <br>
Has anyone had any professional legal advice about
ExtJS/GeoExt/GPL?<br>
<br>
When an ExtJS license was $300 it was easier to simply buy the
commercial license and not worry about the above. <br>
<br>
I guess there is no way a company like Boundless could buy
license packs of 5 and sell them on to individual developers?<br>
<br>

so sad that Sencha had to screw up a good thing. Their
ridiculous licensing changes/costs mean that I probably
won't be using the version(s) that it covers or any
product that is linked to them (including GeoExt 3+). I
still can't figure out how they decided that the changes
are a good idea. I guess that they're just willing to
lose a significant segment of their customers in order
to get those big bulk licensing payments. SMDH</span></div>

everyone,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>this is a heads-up to the community, and mostly that
part of the community that is unable to deal with GPL
applications.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For Ext JS 6 (which is the version of Ext were
targeting with GeoExt 3), Sencha has changed their model
and doesnt offer the open source exception anymore.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This means there are 2 options basically:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1) GeoExt 3 will be GPL only (not BSD anymore)</div>
<div>2) all the developers and contributors to GeoExt 3
need to get a Sencha commercial license for Ext JS (for
prices see here: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.sencha.com/store/extjs/"
target="_blank">https://www.sencha.com/store/extjs/</a>),
and GeoExt 3 would need to be licensed with a dual
license model (commercial, GPL) as well</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There are currently no funds available for option 2),
hence option 1) is very likely.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If this is problematic for you or your company,
please speak up now in case you have any funding
available to influence this important decision.</div>

<div>TIA.</div>
