[jira] [Updated] (LEGAL-519) ASF Apache 2 with a SaaS restriction
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-519?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Jean-Baptiste Briaud updated LEGAL-519:
---------------------------------------
Description:
Hi,
I'm seeking for a open source license and target to use Apache 2.
I'm wondering about a SaaS clause:
* an ASF license,
* all Apache 2 permissions and restrictions,
* without permission for SaaS only use
To clarify the later, I'm thinking about an ASF version of this one :
[https://www.confluent.io/confluent-community-license]
Other pointers:
[https://hub.packtpub.com/confluent-an-apache-kafka-service-provider-adopts-a-new-license-to-fight-against-cloud-service-providers/]
[https://www.confluent.io/confluent-community-license-faq/]
AGPL doesn't fit he need:
* too restrictive, forbid network use, not just put in "SaaS without added value"
(I know "added value" is impossible to define, but I also know SaaS restriction is a need)
* plus all GPL things, too far from permissive spirit.
I'd like to protect from a simple, direct licensed software to be put, alone, as SaaS offer. I'd like to keep for myself only this possibility.
What do you think?

Hi,

I'm fine the licensed software being a component, part of a cloud SaaS offer from anyone.
However, I'd like to protect from a simple, direct licensed software to be put, alone, as SaaS offer. I'd like to keep for myself only this possibility.
As a summary:
* an ASF license,
* all Apache 2 permissions and restrictions,
* without permission for SaaS only use
