> Or are they an illegal proprietary fork? As long as their clients can redistribute it, its not illegal, especially if their clients have 0 interest in leaking the source code, the real trick is, has anyone who is NOT using that client hit any of the AGPL relay servers? For context, I worked for an employer that sold a custom software solution, which used GPL'd software, client was in the military space, so I guess DOD, anyway, for over a decade nobody asked for any of the code, till some years back. I am guessing they just wanted to have it evaluated, but it was a workhorse of many many things, good luck trying to fork it, LOTS of moving pieces involved. Nothing illegal unless someone who touches a TM SGNL server (somehow) requests the source and they reject you from having it. |

But from their website, which has terms of service for each app, it really seems that they are presenting them as standard proprietary closed-source offerings.
