The guys at Clipperz and RMS have been talking about how Clipperz’s technology could provide freedom and privacy in the cloud, Savio Rodrigues reports.

Rodrigues, however, agrees with two of their three assertions, but wonders about using the APGL.

“Using the AGPL’d widget (from Clipperz in this case) that enables a ‘zero knowledge web application’ is not the problem. However, the viral nature of the AGPL would be a concern for any vendor who intends to drive revenue from their proprietary code/application delivered via a SaaS from a Cloud,” he points out in RMZ and Clipperz offer freedom in the cloud.
