[TYPO3-english] Extensions potentially violating the GPL

[Kay Strobach]

Hello @all,

based on the discussion which has been done on the german list about non
GPL extensions there is new article in the wiki to collect those extensions:

http://wiki.typo3.org/Overview_Extension_manuals#Non-GPL_compatible_extensions_.28to_be_removed_from_TER.29

Based on the terms of use for the TER these extensions could be removed
without further notice - but that's not what we want as a result, we
just want to keep the TER clean and found a solution to solve that
problem and protect all users of TYPO3 of licensing problems.

The current position is to discuss that additionally on the english
mailinglist (and hopefully french - if there is someone who translates
this mail).

I personally hope, that all the non GPL parts will be loaded after
installation with a detailed license (take a look into the wiki for a
solution).

  Terms which are shown during registering an extension key:
  By registering an extension key you accept that all content uploaded
  to TER (TYPO3 Extension Repository) matches these terms
    1) Published under the GPL license or GPL compatible
    2) You hold the copyright of the code or do not infringe the rights
       of others (meaning that work from others must be under GPL or
       GPL compatible already!)

Thanks a lot.
Merry Christmas and a happy new Year
