Would this work over a multi zone cloud deployment?

LOL! Good one. Though, don't give them any ideas ^_^

This is great news! Mayan is an awesome product, the user interface of Open Paperless will be a great addition. Congrats!

The license is clear and can be read without buying the product. It is right before the shopping cart. Cookie cutter template regarding warranties, liability, indemnification, limitations, etc. Pretty standard when you buy a license for any software.

This was regarding a specialized version done for the Indian market in 2016.

Found another post from the creator's of Mayan regarding commercial forks.

"Commercial involvement with Mayan is not a problem at all, it is encouraged and the license was changed a while back from GPL to Apache 2.0 to be more commercial friendly."

"Forking and doing specialized versions is not bad and I encourage it, it is the way FLOSS projects grow. If a feature can then be added upstream, we do so, if not, it is made into a 3rd party app or sub project (http://www.mayan-edms.com/ecosystem/)."

"In this case Ranjith offers a customized version with features that we have not been able to included because they are very specific to him and his clients."

"On the other hand was Ranjith is doing is perfectly OK since there is no copyright violation and the terms of the license are being followed. The work he is putting into his fork of Mayan is helping the software get into other markets where the upstream version might not have been a choice. We've been talking and we are looking into backporting some of the more general work he's done in his fork."

I don't understand all the fuzz about the "open" part, the licensing, or the price. It's a commercial fork or the Apache licensed Mayan EDMS done with the approval of the Mayan folks.

Apparently not the first paid fork of Mayan EDMS

Nice! I prefer open source software like this when dealing private data like receipts and invoices.

Don't go there. Leave sleeping dogs lie as they say.

If you had been following the story of these projects you would know that it is paperless (and not open paperles or mayan) that has been leaching off other projects and people.

Update: The repository appears to be online once again, albeit missing almost 100 stars. Rosario's account is also back online but is missing all his followers (the count is reset to 0). his account follower count was 2.2k before disappearing.

Censorship or convenient tech glitch?

Funding and making free software sustainable has always been a top priority topic. Free software developers also need money like the rest of us.
