1.14 Software License Policy

  • Changing the license of Odoo requires the agreement of all the copyright owners of the current source code of Odoo, because past contributions weren't submitted with a Contributor License Agreement (CLA). We reviewed the current Odoo 8.0 source code and the amount of code that was not developed by Odoo staff represents about 2% of the code base.

We will do the following:

Propose every new contributor to sign a CLA. Once the key contributors will have signed it, the code on which do not have the IP will be lower than 0.5%

After a two months period, we will contact contributors that do not signed the CLA yet, asking them if:

They are ready to sign the CLA or not

If they do not agree, we will ensure that we remove their code before the release of version 9 of Odoo. (fortunatelly, we have to rewrite most modules for the new API in v9). We expect this extra effort to not be more than a few days of development.

1.15 Domain Name Registrations, Transfers and Renewals

  • We make every effort to ensure that the domain names are registered, transferred, and / or renewed on time. If domain registration, renewal or transfer is not processed when due, it is your responsibility to contact Base Camp within fifteen (15) days of the incident for Base Camp to investigate. Redemption fees may be charged to customer for domains that remain expired for more than thirty (30) days, when no contact is made to Base Camp in the required timeframe. Base Camp’s liability is limited to the amount paid for the domain name.
