For questions about the OSPO or licensing, contact ospo@kiteworks.com.
The OSPO is driving a strategic relicensing of ownCloud repositories toward the Apache License 2.0, following the Apache Software Foundation's third-party license policy.
Individual repositories will migrate as their audit is completed. The LICENSE file in each repo reflects its current license status (not the target).
Current license: GPL-2.0 (Category X per Apache policy -- cannot be included in Apache-2.0 works).
Migration prerequisites for this repository:
- CLA/DCO coverage: All past contributors must have signed agreements permitting relicensing
- Copyleft dependency audit: All GPL dependencies must be replaced or isolated
- KDE heritage review: Any code with KDE-era copyrights requires legal analysis
- Complete relicensing: GPL-2.0 is a strong copyleft license; migration requires full relicensing of all files
