[Qgis-developer] About my plugins ...

[G. Allegri]

I'm not aware of QGIS plugins distributing only .pyc files. In any case I
can ask the plugin developer to provide the source code.
The same apply to QGIS itself: the binary distributions don't have the
source code bundled, but I can view and get it from the public repo.

QGIS plugins must me lisenced as GPL, because the depend on QGIS and GPL is
viral.
Anyway distributing only .pyc is not advisible, because they assume the
same interpreter and the same execution environment that compiled the .pyc
bytecode.

Daccordo è "sconsigliato", e so che funziona.  Ma, mi chiedo, non si sta
tentando di aggirare la licenza ?
Cioè, mettiamo che non sia possibile ottenere i sorgenti in chiaro, per
qualche ragione (oscurati, per esempio).
Il fatto di non poter leggere i sorgenti in chiaro, come ci assicura che
non contengano codice malevolo ?
Non sarebbe meglio vietare questa pratica ?

Che dici ?

Translation:
Agree is "advisable", and I know it works. But, I ask, you are not trying
to circumvent the license?
That is, let's say you can not get the clear springs, for some reason
(obscured, for example).
The fact that they can not read in light sources, assures us that do not
contain malicious code?
Would not it be better to prohibit this practice?

What do you say ?

Thank you

Roberto
