[Fsf-friends] Attn: Legal specialists -- License of Splunk server

[Baishampayan Ghose]

Hi,

> project*  called splunk server(https://splunkforge.org/). But when I
> looked at the License(http://www.splunk.com/index.php/articles/news/66)
> of the product it looks weird. In the first part they uses the term
> *FREE SOFTWARE* and in the License part they says some restrictions
> for use
SF.Net [and all sites under OSTG] accept ads from companies which sell
non-free stuff. In fact, M$ is the biggest advertiser on Linux.com. I
have seen the Splunk ad ... but where does it say that it's Free/Open
Source Software? SplunkForge is the site for Free/Open Source
extensions to the Splunk engine, which is non-free anyway.
Can you point us to any page where they claim that Splunk is free software?
Regards,
BG
