* Extending the GPL for Application Service Providers
posted by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Mon 14th Aug 2006 16:41 UTC, submitted by lh8
IconFunambol CEO Fabrizio Capobianco is scheduled to announce a draft version of a modified GPL today that would add a provision requiring service providers to distribute changes to code, even if they don't "distribute" the code beyond their own servers. Capobianco calls this the Honest Public License (HPL), and the additional provision could add an entirely new wrinkle to free software.
