i can't find any indication anywhere that hyperoffice is available under a Free Software or Open Source license.
maybe i missed something, because i would really wish that the argument made in the article can be backed up by a good example, but unfortunately it seems they choose the wrong example. greetings, eMBee. |

From the Terms of Use page http://www.hyperoffice.com/terms-of-use/ :Quoting:You shall use the Products and Services only for lawful purposes. You are prohibited from using the Products and Services for the distribution, housing, processing, propagation, storage, or otherwise handling in any way abusive, defamatory, harassing, libelous, lewd, libelous, obscene, pornographic, threatening, or tortuous material, or any other material (including links to such material) that HyperOffice deems, in its sole discretion, to be objectionable whether or not such material is unlawful. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold HyperOffice harmless from any action, claim, or suit resulting, directly or indirectly, from your use (or allowed use by others) of the Products and Services to disparage, denigrate, or otherwise damage or injure the reputation of any third party.I'd say that's a "no". |

Ugh, you are both absolutely right. Just prior to writing this up, I was reading a section of the HyperOffice Web site that strongly implied the software was open source. In my rush, I didn't verify the license and clearly I should have. My apologies for the oversight and awful gaffe. Thanks for pointing it out. I'm truly embarrassed. ~ Lisa Hoover |
