Thanks for your replies! T think I'm not alone!
I'm working now in a "comunity fork" of EasyUI 1.4.3. (the GPL v3 "source")
The first step is to try to "unobfuscripting" some plugins. It's a hard work, but I think I can do it (at least partially).
When I finished this step, i will publish it in github. But before I need a new name!
I will need your help in this project...
Thanks.

Hello:

I think maybe you make a mistake, but it is in the limit of illegality!!

In my last unanswered topic (http://www.jeasyui.com/forum/index.php?topic=5208.0) I talked you about your error in publishing under GPL v3 some obfuscated Javascript code.

Now I see you decide to change the licence of 1.4.4 version to some "FreWare licence". This is much more wrong, its a dangerous desition, because you may have legal issues. Please read: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#CanDeveloperThirdParty

You can not "close" a GPLv3 code, even if you write it and you still show us some code. ¿What about community contibutions? ¿What about all the four freedoms (view, use, change and distribute)?

You take the worst way. You must change your "bussiness mode". Look again at MySql licences or similar. You don't need to close the source!!!

I hope you understand this. I know that people of FSF is following this case. And I'm seriously thiking in fork 'easyiu 1.4.3', because I have a lot of GPL projects using it.

Thanks for your work! Good luck!

¿Any comment about this?
¿Any other developer is affected?

Thanks

Please read this article, about how to release Free JavaScript software:

http://www.gnu.org/software/librejs/free-your-javascript.html

I think You must free your JavaScript. Check that your "Easyui - GPL Edition" is not really GPL. You make us fall into The Trap!

Sorry, if I look like a troll. I am a free software developer that uses your excellent library. But I will have to abandon it, because my apps will not be really free, until you release the real source code of GPL edition.

Please think about it.

Thanks!

I recently read this page by Richard Stallman, creator of the GNU project, the GPL Licence,  and the Free Software philosophy:

http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.en.html

He talks about to use obfuscated javascript without publishing the source code, and confirm that the compacted code (he calls it "Obfuscript") is not source code. An obfuscated program it's not free software, because it's not the real source that the programers develops. It require a "compilation" (obfuscation) and it is not human readable, near to the level of a binary compiled program.

So, if I decided to release my software under GPL, I must use GPL licenced (or compatible) libraries (just like this EasyUI), I have to release the full real source code unobfuscated to be GPL compatible.

In other words, I think you are in mistake: You can't release obfuscated code under "GPL v3" in your "GPL Edition", because GPL means Free Software (plus GPL v3 means "unclosable" software) and obfuscated code is not free software.

And worst: you can not release the source code only under the proprietary licenced "Commercial Edition": You cant force developers that want to release free software to "pay-per-view" the source code without the posibility of publishing it.

Check the philosophy of MySQL: they have a "Community(GPL) Edition" and an "Enterprise Edition". I can access the full souce code of MySQL Community Edition (if not, it can't be called "GPL Edition"). The "Enterprise Edition" offers other features, but not the source code of MySQL.

I hope you thik about this, I need to take a decision to choose a library for my GPL projects and this is a trouble for me.

Sorry for my bad english.

Thanks
