Hi Pedro, 

i think this is the crucial point. It's not Odoo or the OCA but somebody
that wants to have the case clarified at court that puts the thread on
us. My honest opinion is that Odoo as well as OCA interpret the AGPL
wrongly by stating that any AGPL module does not infect all Odoo but i
am just a part time scientist and no lawyer. Yet all lawyers i have
spoken to, and i explained the situation agreed on my perspective (maybe
i biased them ;-). However, i think if somebody starts to sue, this will
have a very negative impact on the ecosystem.

Kind regards

Frederik
