This occurred - any time an entity did not release their application to a "third party". - . - While there is a certain freedom in this model of licensing, it struck the - authors of the RPL as being unfair to the open source community at large and to - the original authors of the works in particular. After all, bug fixes, - extensions, and meaningful and valuable derivatives were not consistently - finding their way back into the community where they could fuel further, and - faster, growth and expansion of the overall open source software base. - . - While you should clearly read and understand the entire license, the essence of - the RPL is found in two definitions: "Deploy" and "Required Components". - . - Regarding deployment, under the RPL your changes, bug fixes, extensions, etc. - must be made available to the open source community at large when you Deploy in - any form -- either internally or to an outside party. Once you start running - the software you have to start sharing the software. - . - Further, under the RPL all components you author including schemas, scripts, - source code, etc. -- regardless of whether they're compiled into a single - binary or used as two halves of client/server application -- must be shared. - You have to share the whole pie, not an isolated slice of it. - . - In addition to these goals, the RPL was authored to meet the requirements of - the Open Source Definition as maintained by the Open Source Initiative (OSI).
