●● Big Addition to GNU Affero GPLv3 (AGPLv3)

Posted in FSF, Google, GPL at 4:12 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

The GNU AGPLv3 was released very recently and has already had some adopters. Funambol is probably the most prominent addition so far. They rightly take pride in this by issuing a press release.

Funambol, the leading provider of mobile 2.0 messaging software powered by open source, today announced it has adopted GNU AGPLv3. This makes Funambol the first major commercial open source software company to adopt the license that was just released by the Free Software Foundation. Funambol adopted AGPLv3 because the company views it as a major open source license of the future.

This company has been working with Google (Android) recently. It has a potential reach that involves billions of people, so this is something for GPLv3 to use promotionally (like SugarCRM). █
