There were already other queries to license specialist lawyers (both from Odoo and OCA) before making the statement and the answer was the opposite, stating that the depends approach is the valid one, so I'm afraid we will need a judge and how he/she wakes up the morning of the judgment to see the result :p

Regards.

Hi Pedro, 

i think this is the crucial point. It's not Odoo or the OCA but somebody
that wants to have the case clarified at court that puts the thread on
us. My honest opinion is that Odoo as well as OCA interpret the AGPL
wrongly by stating that any AGPL module does not infect all Odoo but i
am just a part time scientist and no lawyer. Yet all lawyers i have
spoken to, and i explained the situation agreed on my perspective (maybe
i biased them ;-). However, i think if somebody starts to sue, this will
have a very negative impact on the ecosystem.

Kind regards

Frederik
