While attending ITEXPO West in Austin, TX, Slashdot editor Timothy Lord met Ivan Kohler, the "President, Founder and Head Geek" of a company called Freeside Internet Services that is 100% open source (no dual-licensing) and makes its living supporting software Ivan says is used to manage some of the very un***y backend tasks that ISPs and VoIP providers need to do, like track usage and send bills to customers. Freeside uses the AGPL license, which Ivan calls "a GPL variant for web applications" that, he says, "prevents people from taking our software, modifying it, and selling it in a hosted capacity as proprietary software."http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Freeside+Internet+Services%3A+Doing+We ll+With+Purely+Free+Software+(Video)%3A+http%3A%2F %2Fbit.ly%2FTZ5bip)http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F12%2F10%2F16%2F0351235%2Ffreeside-internet-services-doing-well-with-purely-free-software-video%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfaceb ook)http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://developers.slashdot.org/story/12/10/16/0351235/freeside-internet-services-doing-well-with-purely-free-software-video?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
