Hello Everyone,
As per the OX Community site, starting version 0.8.2-1 onward there are three license models: Server Pack, Web Pack, and Convenience. The differences are, and I quote the OX site:
"The difference between the Convenience, Server, Web packs is the license form. The Convenience Pack is licensed under GPL and CC. The Server Pack is pure GPL. The Web Pack is under the Creative Commons by nc-sa."

My question to you all (and perhaps Vincent in particular), is that which "pack" was the SME RPMs based upon?
The reason why I want to find out more about which license model that we are dealing with here is because I intended to use it for the company, and the last thing I want to do is to violate the license agreement. Therefore whether the SME packages [prepared by Vincent] was taken from the GPL pack determines whether I'll actually use OX or stay with the existing W2K3 Small Business Server.
If anyone can give me a hint that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
P.S.: I know, M$ is evil. Unfortunately OX is not a lot cheaper yet only covers part of what W2K3 SBS has to offer. I really want to replace M$ with Linux but I have to make a sound case to make sure my boss will buy-in. It's just sad that OX decided to mess up with the community edition by introducing the new (and confusing) licensing models ...
Regards,
