### Evaluation of the [[Community Health|UseCases/CommunityHealth]]
 
- Is the [[license both determined as Free Software by FSF and OSI-approved|USeCases/CommunityHealth#license-approved]]?<blockquote><p>Unless otherwise asserted in the code files, Web Notes will own the copyright of all contributions too. That means Web Notes holds the rights to change the license in the future or offer Commercial Licenses.</p><p>Web Notes will only accept copyright assertions in case of a significant contribution like a whole new functionality or a major rewrite. We believe if your contribution is significant then you should have a say in what license Web Notes selects in the future and/or have a right to any revenue Web Notes gets from a Commercial License. Either ways Web Notes will have the right to decide what is a "significant" contribution.</p><p>Note: At the moment, Web Notes does not give Commercial License for ERPNext nor has specific plans do so in the future.</p><p>-- <https://github.com/webnotes/erpnext/tree/54c1545c49132261f7ac6e9b5c051ed46a965d5c#copyright-for-contributors></p></blockquote>

## Final(-ish) Evaluation
 
<a id="final-eval"></a>
 

	
 
Unfortunately, we discovered
 
[this policy early in our evaluation](https://github.com/webnotes/erpnext#copyright-for-contributors),
 
and decided that until this policy can be corrected to something more fitting
 
with actual copyright law and that will allow us to contribute under the
 
stated license of the project, it's not worth further evaluation of the codebase,
 
since this policy is just not acceptable.
