Private use in company
just4fun opened this issue · comments
The poker has been released last year. As far as I know, there are at least 3 teams in Active were using it.
As you know the poker is not stable sometimes, because the server is located out of China, so during last weeks, some managers asked me whether we could move the poker back to company. In this way I have no need to pay for the server and domain.
According to the license of poker, it's OK to fork it to other place, but to be honest, this is just side project which I can introduce any new tech stuff if I like, that said if one of our duties is to maintain the internal poker, seems like there is no fun.
I told the managers that feel free to fork the repo, but we will still maintain the one on GitHub. I'm also happy to be the sponsor for the server and domain, it's not big deal.

Just want to on the same page with you all.
Thanks for raising it here. Since Poker4Fun is open source software released under GPLv3 license, everyone has the right to use, modify and distribute it as long as they don’t violate the license. The “copyleft” nature of GPL license doesn’t prohibit private use, so I see no problem if anyone wants to setup their own instance (or even modify it) for internal use. That said, I’d like to encourage people to contribute back to Poker4Fun project if they think their modifications could be useful to other people, and be fair to all contributors by giving credit where credit’s due. Thanks!
I think we are on the same page for the using of this project. This is an open source project which belongs to the community not any company. We welcome anyone to use it within the authorization of the license.
Thanks guys. I love you all.
