GPLv3 Scuppers Open-Source Exchange Compatibility 1

Submitted by
An anonymous reader writes "There's a neat project called OpenChange to develop an open-source client library for Microsoft Exchange. Unfortunately, they are heavily dependent on Samba code for the underlying protocol support and have been forced to move to GPLv3 as a result. This has made it impossible to legally add support to other software such as KDE which is unwilling or unable to go GPLv3."

  • Someone misinformed is making a woe-is-us story out of a minor problem. The incompatibility is there, but the solution is in work.

    I wouldn't be doing the development of the Akaondi plugin for Openchange if I wasn't confident there was a solution.

    We could use some help with development and testing though - feel free to come by and help out!
