I see this as one of the fundamental problems with the AGPL/Apache licensing patterns. The company can create an Apache driver, but it's not clear when a member of the community creates a driver if they can also use the Apache license. If all they do is present the driver, then presumably yes, but if they publish a service using their driver calling the AGPL licensed code, their driver should be subject to AGPL's terms which would apply the AGPL to it. Alternatively they could assign the copyright of their code to a company? But why would they be motivated to do so? This creates an asymmetry of rights where the company can do things that community members cannot. This seems to the very opposite of what the Open Source movement has been all about. |
