License in Neogia (OFBiz)

mridu
 
CollabCAD is a Java based distributed CAD/CAM Software System developed by
 Computer Aided Design Group of National Informatics Centre, the IT
Support professionals from India. CollabCAD is based on well proven Open
domain technologies like Java, Java 3D, Java RMI, Open Cascade geometry
kernel. CollabCAD supports open standards such as XML, STEP, IGES, VRML.
You may visit our website (www.collabcad.com)

CollabCAD has been integrated with  Jakarta Slide, a content management
system and Bonita, a Workflow Management System.

We are interested in bundling Neogia (Ofbiz) with CollabCAD. We will not
be making any changes in Neogia source code.

Since Neogia is open software under the GNU General Public License (GPL), we
would like to confirm that we are permitted to distribute Neogia along
with CollabCAD. At a later stage, if we do make some modifications we are
willing to publish them.

Hi Mridu,

you should really post this to the Neogia mailing lists (www.neogia.org).

Mridu!

Do you really mean Neogia or do you mean Opentaps or do you mean OFBiz?

I need to say when I briefly looked at Neogia I was somewhat confused about two things:

1. How can something based on OFBiz be GPL? Aren't the Apache License and GPL incompatible?
2. When I was looking at a Neogia online demo, Opentaps came up, which I understand is even more restrictively licensed.

In two words, Neogia's license (GPL) is more restrictive than OFBiz's
license (ASL2.0), and so they can use (and they actually do it) our
stuff but we can't use their.

Torsten  

thanks for your reply .

So far as i know  both opentap and neogia are developed based on OFBiz .That's why they are leading to the same type of interface.

i am very much sure that i cannot bundle opentap with our software (CollabCAD).But i dont know anything about Neogia license .Moreover i am not getting any email id to ask these FAQ to the Neogia developer .

with regards

rajsaini
I am not a lawyer but my understanding is:

Neogia is a GPL and if your software drives from it, you also need to
license your software under GPL.

Torsten,

If you look more closely to the Neogia Demo you'll find that the accounting,
facility, and manufacturing modules are different from those of Ofbiz.
what I like the most in Neogia is their code generator which generates
module's code from a UML model stored in XMI format. BTW, their modified
modules are almost completely generated code.

The mailing list for Neogia is [hidden email]

Amine.

Yes. And I think they are those from Opentaps, aren't they?

I mean, I am not quite sure what the original work of Neogia is. It looks like a re-packaged Opentaps to me.

Mridu,

You guys already asked me about this for opentaps, and the answer is
probably the same for Neogia: since you do not allow your users to
access your source code, you cannot incorporate GPL-based Neogia either.

*You really should consult an attorney instead of ask on mailing lists
though.*

Neogia has some components wich replace OFBiz ones : accounting,
facility, and manufacturing. They are mostly generated from UML class
diagrams, some parts of them are developed in a standard way (by hand
;o). The other components, including Opentaps are originals.
