AGPL Licensing

[thesubmitter]

Hi,

If proxmox has AGPL licensing and we create a gui that creates containers and then runs some ansible scripts then our service installed on the container talks back to that gui/interface. Does this cause a licensing problem? Do we have to give people the source code of our software or anything?

Thanks!

yes

I think I need to be more clear.

Software X: the gui calls Proxmox API creates the container the runs ansible against that new container. This software might also poll software Y to get the status. Software X is only used internally (our deployment tool)

Y: our Java software which clients connects to etc... which is installed by the s via ansible. Clients/external users use this software it doesn't directly connect to Proxmox API though it runs on the environment in containers.

I guess I can see if we allow clients to access software X then we'd need to release the source code

What about software Y?

What about software Y?

Seems Y is totally unrelated to Proxmox VE.
