Is Ubuntu MAAS free? Will it remain like that?
- by Bruno Pereira
Ubuntu MAAS, very cool, awesome in fact, looks like a unique tool for several jobs.
It looks free, but part of its documentation starts already with clauses that would scare anyone with interest in it:
Documentation is copy righted by Canonical;
Documentation must be used only for non-commercial purposes;
If documentation is distributed within the non-commercial clause you must retain copyright;
It just sounds a lot for a guide on how to install MAAS + Juju + Openstack and that scares me a bit.
Under what license is Ubuntu MAAS distributed and what would be the reasoning for being so worried about copyrighting a guide like that so heavily? Is Ubuntu MAAS free? Will it continue like that?
