App Licenses about appstore HOT 7 CLOSED

Fixed now by only allowing AGPL.

@schiessle what licenses would you think we should allow? I'd say at least, indeed, MIT, AGPL, MPL and Apache License, correct?

I will follow this discussion 😄

Only MPL 2.0 is compatible with the GNU AGPLv3. So if we add MPL to the list, we need to specify the version.

I would also suggest to keep the list short, otherwise it will just result in more confusion:

My personal List would be:

• GNU AGPLv3 or later (strong protection of the users rights)
• Mozilla Public license 2.0 (weak protection of the users rights)
• Apache License (no protection but at least it protected against patent threats to some extend)

For popularity reasons it might make sense to add the MIT License, although I believe people who prefer non-protecting licenses should chose the Apache License because of the patent grant.

Default should be GNU AGPLv3 or later.

Sounds good to me. @bud-mo works for you, too?

How/where can this be implemented?!? Would be nice so @bud-mo can provide their app in the app store!

Just add 2 lines like this https://github.com/nextcloud/appstore/blob/master/nextcloudappstore/api/v1/release/info.xsd#L325 directly below with the values of apache and mpl. That's all.

apache and mpl are now available once deployed
