[geeklog-devel] Geeklog CKEditor Integration

[Tom]

We need a new editor in Geeklog since FCKeditor is not being developed any
further and we are already having issues with newer browsers.

 

My vote would be to upgrade our license if we need to and use the CKEditor.
I don't really know the major differences between the 2 licenses beyond
GPLv3 being an upgraded version of 2. As Trinity suggests we could try
asking the CKEditor developers  if they can give  a special exception or
licence but I don't really have a reason to give them as why we want to stay
with GPLv2.

 

I guess the second option would be to release the CKEditor as a plugin and
bundle it as part of core to ensure that people always have it.

Now, the CKEditor has been integrated with Geeklog in my development
environment. It seems to be working fine.

 

>From http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#AllCompatibility

 

According to the compatibility matrix:

column: I want to release a project under GPLv2 or later

row: I want to copy code under GPLv3

cell: OK: Convey project under GPLv3 [3]

 

3: If you have the ability to release the project under GPLv2 or any later
version, you can choose to release it under GPLv3 or any later version and
once you do that, you'll be able to incorporate the code released under
GPLv3.

 

I think, in order to distribute (convey) the Geeklog that integrates
CKEditor, it is necessary to upgrade Geeklog license to GPLv3.

 

There would be the following three options to us.

 

1. Upgrade Geeklog license to GPLv3

2. Switch to other editors (example: TinyMCE under LGPLv2.1)

3. Cancel the integration of CKEditor and release as the CKEditor plugin

 

What we should do?
