GPL has something to say about this behavior:
You take the work of people who did it because of idea of freedom and you close it down. But once you close your system (which is based on free software) down. There for if you take free software, use it to build your system it is fine, it is freedom. Whole point of GPL is to build a free (as in freedom) world. This system of yours seems to be based on a GNU/Linux (Linux kernel + collection of supplementary programs). However judging from GPL listed components in your license. You distribute RouterOS with a proprietary license as a proprietary system. It would be very nice if someone from MikroTik could answer these questions, but everyone is welcome into discussion.ġst concern - GPL in a proprietary system The concerns expressed there, however, are very real and I would like to raise them here in a more civilized way. I think that MikroTik company has created nice things, there for should be given the benefit of a doubt. It is clearly a wrong way to start a conversation. They are indeed very nice! I am here, however, because I have concerns about RouterOS compliance to GPL license.įirst, let me apologize for my friend's lack of manners in This earlier thread. Recently I have tested and started using MikroTik routers myself and recommended to some others. I also work with some small businesses (mostly advise and implement various infrastructure solutions). My name is Egidijus Meištas and I am an IT enthusiast.
