But a standard GPL should not be a problem for extranets. But that is just the common understanding of the GPL as I see it, Ext LLC seems to see this different. The AGPL would be another thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affero_General_Public_License "The GNU AGPL is similar to the GNU General Public License, except that it has an additional section to cover use over a computer network. " This was probably what they ment but for some reason didn't use. IANAL and I’m out of my waters. But a standard GPL should not be a problem for extranets.

As in a publicly available web site? How about password-protected web sites (such as an online banking application for instance)? What is your understanding about the GPL in these cases if we use extJs? Thx! How about extranets? As in a publicly available web site?
