I was reading a lot about this network before i join it? but a question in my mind force me to open this thread. Why Coop is not open source? Thanks in advance for the answer
Well, i assume Co-op means a group of members.. requiring registration and possible agreement to terms+conditions before they have access. Open Source means that anyone can modify the code, no membership necessary. Also, Co-op code made be under propritary licenses, etc.
Of all the things that shawn could make open source the coop would be the worst. What could you gain from having a really tiny version of the coop?
Maybe a licence? Maybe not releasing it everyone, but do a leased and owned thing like vBulletin did Robert
We understand the OS world, but the point it - this is a service - not software. The service USES software. It does not fit the OS model very well. I am sure you have good intentions, but it just doesn't make sense with the Co-op.
I donno why you post reply here if you don't have the answer... i just want to know why coop is not open source... Shawn is the only person who can answer me
If it was, opensource people would be able to abuse the system easier. You would get loads of crappy co-op networks setup. DP coop itself would not gain much from being opensource. You don’t need shawn to have this question answered. You are asking a stupid question that is wasting people’s time. Look I can do it too • Why is myspace not opensource? • Why is digg not opensouce ? • Etc Why don’t you make everything you every do free for people to use and edit? could not find a download on your sites for all the content.
