[p2pu-dev] Forking and working on fossacademy.org

[Jos Flores]

Hi Satya,

I'm no expert in this but I believe there is a mix of responsibilities
in here. The terms of use apply to P2PU as a Service, so you abide to
them when you create an account and join a course.

Forking the source code for Lernanta is a different issue. All you
need to care for is the license for the code itself, which in this
case is an MPL license:
https://github.com/p2pu/lernanta/blob/master/LICENSE.txt

If you set up your own Service, then you might want to add Terms of
use for your users, but that has nothing to do with the license under
which your source is distributed.

As I said, no expert in the area, so someone please correct me if I'm wrong!

cheers,
José
