We would have no interest in continuing development for it like we do with Mambo.  We would (if we chose to) simply use it for its intended purpose.

And this community wouldn't exist at all. That is my point, developers and users would lose

Freedom could be deifferent for individuals, but there are some basics that are accepted form community. OK, I respect other opinions, but some things simply talk for themselves, as SMF philosofy. Let me be specific and say that I have no intent to start community dividing or anything like that. I o...

You can sell GPL software. Even RMS says sell it and make money if you can

@Kindred Read the GPL and read you post after that. You'll see where you are wrong I forgot one thing. Imagine that Mambo licence is like SMF's. Developers that are doing this would not be in position to start what is started here. Is that our goal? No, if you ask me. This is the problem that SMF de...

Marko, right, and it is done

@BSD You've done documentation job for me Thanks It is clear from quoted parts of licence what am I talking about. Price is not the point, it's freedom and that should be clear.

SO, term "open source" means source code that is available for seen...

The question is should we support free software like we do now, by using nonfree forum engine. WOuld you use mambo or how is it going to be naed if it would bee free of charge, but not free software. I would not. Also, are we spaking here about software freedom or not? XMB is great free forum engine...

Free in sense of price, but not liberty. That is very important

Hello! I would like to mention one thing. If you want to stay consistent to the free software idea (and from the lates happenings I can see you do), SMF shouldn't be used because it is not free software! I assume that nobody read the licence, but I did. You are not allowed to redistribute modificati...
