Jean-Baptiste Briaud updated LEGAL-519:
---------------------------------------
    Comment: was deleted

(was: I value more ASF than my fear of my work being sacked on SaaS.

So, as a conclusion, I think I'll go with Apache 2.

Again, thanks for the discussion, I had the need for it.)

> Hi,
> I'm seeking for a open source license and would like to use Apache 2.
> I'd like to protect from the licensed software to be simply, directly (not part of something bigger) put, as SaaS. I'd like to keep for myself (copyright owner) only this possibility.
> 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://www.confluent.io/confluent-community-license-faq/]
>  
> AGPL doesn't fit he need despite having a "SaaS loophole" closed:
>  * too restrictive: forbid any network use, not just put in "SaaS without added value"
>  (I know "added value" is impossible to define, but I also feel SaaS restriction is a need)
>  * plus all GPL things, too far from permissive license spirit.
>  
> Ideally, I'm seeking for a good Apache 2 license (permissive, precise, ASF) with a SaaS restrictive option/version.
> What do you think?
