Hi Vincent,

If you need a lawyer very proficient in answering Open Source Licensing stuff feel free to contact me personally, i can recommend somebody from my network. That said, even though i know Odoo's statement in relation to the license change from 2015 and the official stance of the OCA (from the website) and i personally (being a researcher on Open Source) lean toward the OCA official notion, i'd really encourage two things

1.) PSC moving their contributions from AGPL to LGPLv3 (to make thinks less ambivalent)

2.) Legal investigation of the validity of claims done by Odoo and OCA on the matter

because they matter a lot since long and more and more potential Odoo (framework) users need to deal with that question

Best Frederik

I should have pointed out that I’m starting to believe my CEO is right.
Concerning professionnel legal advice, he told me that he never find out someone capable of replying to licence questions concerning open source.

I’m concerned, as the head of the department, of not doing something correctly and was curious about why it is written on the OCA website something that looks incorrect.
