[TYPO3-english] Extensions which potentially violate GPL

[Philipp Gampe]

Hello Community,

recently there was a discussion on typo3.german concerning the license of 
extensions on TER.

The "Terms of use for the TER" are pretty strait forward:
> 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!)

Unfortunately some extensions contain content that might violate GPL.

While discussing possible workarounds/solutions, we agreed that the first 
step must be a list of all problematic extension.

Therefore, it would be nice of everyone who knows a problematic 
extensions could add them to the wiki at:
http://wiki.typo3.org/
Overview_Extension_manuals#Extensions_which_potentially_violate_the_GPL

Further actions are still to be discussion and potentially won't happen 
this year any more. (TYPO3 4.5 is approaching and consumes most time.)

If you want to reread the german discussion: the Thread is "Extensions 
und Lizenzen" started at Thu, 9 Dec 2010 18:38:56 +0200.

Best regards
Phil
