Illeagal selling of Elxis

[datahell]

Due to such idiots, that do not respect ours and yours free and hard work open source can be ended. We (GO UP) do not have any problem unpublishing Elxis (as it was unpublished till october 2006) if they do not respect the license, you will have. So, it is in yours hands to hunt these people down.

I ask you:
Do you want Elxis to be unpublished?
Do you want to publish a limited edition while the full edition will stay only in our possession?
Do you want to remove advanced features from Elxis?
Do you want all new features to be commercial addons?
I create now an advanced SEO mechanism. Do you want this mechanism included in Elxis or as an encrypted commercial addon?
Do you want to add product validation and encrypted parts into Elxis?
Do you want to be able to download Elxis for free without registration or subscription?
Do you want Elxis 2007 to be published?

I must admit that we are thinking these days of creating 2 versions for Elxis, a limited public one and a full featured private one only for our use. Do not force us to do this. Do not also force us to add lock mechanisms inside Elxis 2007+!

Note: Dispite if we finally publish the Elxis next version or not, Elxis 2007+ will be very hard to be stolen as it will be a very-very-very unique CMS. We have implement in it, things that simple do not exist anywhere. They will have to study it for a year to understand how it works and till then we will have publish a new version!

Hi all,

1. I always say Elxis needs to have more local communities (Italy, France, Spain...). In that case, the thiefs could be easily put to the wall of shame, wich would cost them more then just legal punishment (money).

2. You should expose the url here, so everyone can see who did it, and do what he can to act against him.

3. If WE, the users of Elxis, don't accept our little share of responsability... well, everyting is uselless.

Example: Someone buys you a beer, then again, and again... if you don't offer to buy him one round, he will evetually stop doing it (and you'll be out of beer ).

"Stiamo anche valutando l'idea di creare un nostro fork tutto italiano che riunisca le migliori caratteristiche di Mambo ed Elxis che a differenza delle versioni 4.6.x non soffra dei problemi di incompatibilità verso i componenti più vecchi ma anche questo dipende dal tempo che ci resterà a disposizione a causa degli impegni presi con CMSaccessibile"

" We are also appraising the idea to create one fork of ours all Italian that gathers the best characteristics of Mambo and Elxis that unlike the versions 4.6.x don't suffer from the problems of incompatibility toward the oldest components but also this has been depending for the time that it will stay us to disposition because of the appointments taken with CMSaccessibile "

"Invece, il fork a cui mi riferivo è - ovviamente - un CMS GRATUITO che verrà rilasciato come al solito sotto licenza GNU/GPL e che intende:
- raccogliere l'eredità di Mambo (serie 4.5.x) apportando novità essenziali ed anche qualche buona soluzione (opportunamente adattata) già presente in altri CMS (quali ad esempio Elxis)"

Sorry to dissapoint you all, including myself, but remember that GNU/GPL allows forking if they keep reference to the original author and they release the fork again under the GNU/GPL license.

GNU/GPL was first introduced in 1984, inside the academic community. In an era that Internet, as we know it today, was not yet invented...

So the problem is not if they do it or not.
The problem is that GNU/GPL software in 2007, is been used in ways and for purposes not predicted. In 2007 it is used for business and by business. It is used for profit.**

Don't go far.
Count yourselfs. How many of you are using Elxis for doing business and how many for academic purposes?

So they, and perhaps others in the future will try to achieve a better placement in their market by having their own CMS.

My advice, business speaking, is don't do it. You have more to gain by using a GNU/GPL tool, than by developing, supporting and promoting your GNU/GPL tool.
