Hi,
I just saw a promotion link in SF.NET regarding a *open source
project* called splunk server(https://splunkforge.org/). But when I looked at the License(http://www.splunk.com/index.php/articles/news/66) of the product it looks weird. In the first part they uses the term *FREE SOFTWARE* and in the License part they says some restrictions for use
SF.Net [and all sites under OSTG] accept ads from companies which sell non-free stuff. In fact, M$ is the biggest advertiser on Linux.com. I have seen the Splunk ad ... but where does it say that it's Free/Open Source Software? SplunkForge is the site for Free/Open Source extensions to the Splunk engine, which is non-free anyway. Can you point us to any page where they claim that Splunk is free software? Regards, BG
