Hey all, A while back i wrote that i was trying to get Open-Xchange working on Fedora (meaning no Sun Java stuff). Since the Open-Xchange authors decided that all non-source code (all source code is GPL) will fall under the CC-Non-commercial license, it will be impossible to include Open-Xchange in Fedora (or Debian, or any Free distribution). Now the authors spoke about trying to solve this problem, and as it looks now their solution will be to split the source code and non-source code parts in two packages, one with the java source code (GPL), and one with HTML/pictures (CC-non-commercial). This is of course no solution at all, since you need both parts to use Open-Xchange, so with that it is clear that Open-Xchange in its current version will never be Free software, and so unusable for Fedora/Debian users. The only solution to get Open-Xchange into Fedora is to fork the source from the 0.7.x (current is 0.8.x) branch that still was fully GPL, add the 0.8.x GPL parts and rewrite the missing parts, and release it under a new name (Open-Xchange is a trademark). This is of course a _lot_ of work. That work might be better spend on another groupware, so the question is, what would be a good groupware for Fedora ? I know of open-xchange, egroupware, opengroupware, simplegroupware and kolab. Opengroupware seems the best to me, but i noticed that egroupware has a "Sponsored by Red Hat" on its web page. All seem to have their pros and cons. For example OG has a nice webmail, but that of egroupware is rather minimal. (actually i think OG is one of the few that speaks sieve) Is there, or would there be others that are interested in, a Fedora Groupware project ?
