Univention Bugzilla – Bug 40872
License Category: Replace hard coded fallback sentence with a default sentence in the ini file
Last modified: 2019-01-03 07:21:21 CET
License should default to "default". This section in the license_types.ini defines what is shown for Apps not defining it in their ini at all. Currently, the sentence is hard coded: The App does not provide any information about the license. Please contact the App provider for further details. This sentence may change (or become empty). The hard coded fallback may be removed. +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #40428 +++ Except in 1-2 cases, the apps in the App Center do not provide information about the licensing and commercial use model. The users can install the apps very easily, but they are confused and don't know the conditions for the usage of the app. In an increasing number of cases, the users contact Univention and ask. Users currently have to visit the app provider's website to answer this question. Even worse are missing information about the evaluation restrictions like free trial for 30 days or free trial for 5 users. This information cannot be found in the app description or even on the app provider's website. A research over all apps in the App Center showed that not all app providers publish the information. Furthermore, this information is not asked from the app provider and explicitly displayed on the App detail page. A new attribute should be added to the App Center meta data the provides a combined information about the evaluation restrictions and the commercial use. It should be shown in the App Center and the App Catalog. The attribute should consist of the following options: 1. Free commercial use 2. Free commercial use and some functions are subject to costs 3. Liable to Costs with free trial 4. Liable to Costs without Free Trial A more detailed proposal can be found here: https://metod.knut.univention.de/owncloud/index.php/s/tDLRGgTwrVPnOQt See also the discussion in the forum: http://forum.univention.de/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=4678&p=18109
