How does Kiln handle the Mercurial GPL license?

Good question. The majority of Kiln is the code to manage the website, code reviews, and FogBugz integration. All of this is separate from the backend service that manages Mercurial repositories. The only GPL component of Kiln is our kind of beefed-up "hg serve". That was developed separately from the rest of the product, has its own installer, and doesn't even need to be installed on the same machine as the rest of the product. On installing that component, users are notified that the product is covered by the GPL and provided with its full source code, including that for the installer itself, as a non-optional part of the install. We provide the source code for the storage service at http://developers.kilnhg.com. Simply log in with the username |
