[Linux-bruxelles] Question de licence

[Gaëtan Frenoy]

Bonsoir,

Que pensez-vous de la licence ci-dessous ?
(voir http://www.zeroc.com/licensing.html)

Ice Licensing
The open-source license agreement for Ice, the GNU General Public
License (GPL), requires you to release the source code of any
application that uses Ice, provided that such application is distributed
to a different physical location. If you do not wish to be bound by the
terms of the GNU license, you can acquire a commercial license from
ZeroC.

You are not required to pay licensing fees during the development phase
of your proprietary products. It is only when you release your
proprietary product that you will be required to pay a licensing fee to
ZeroC. "We make money if you make money."

The license fee is based on your organization's overall gross annual
revenue (...)
"

Cela ressemble à une tentative de faire du libre propriétaire
ou je n'ai rien compris ?

Ce qui me heurte le plus est :
 "the GNU General Public License (GPL), requires you to release 
  the source code of any application that uses Ice"

Cette assertion est fausse, n'est-elle pas ?

Merci.
