Thats some great advice! They do offer some sort of bulk licensing. I'll look into that and see what I can find out. I have contacted them already, and I'm waiting for them to get back to me now.
I did get a response from a board member at
Home | Open Source Initiative - This is what they said to me:
Quote:
Your confusion is palpable. You should write to them and ask THEM why their FAQ and their claim to be open source are at odds with each other. I can tell you right now that they think that because they live in Australia, they don't have to worry about US trademark law -- and that even if we DID have a trademark, their conflicting use of "open source" wouldn't be a problem.
By writing to them, and making it clear that you insist upon using
shopping cart code with an OSI-approved license, you will help them to understand that misusing "open source" has consequences.
If you want to cause them a bit of concern and worry, you could write a very nice thank-you letter for putting their shopping cart code into open source, because you know that open source code can be freely modified and copied.
