Re: Enterprise dependencies

I recommend not mixing into Odoo Enterprise.  A different approach would be generating Community Modules that do, generally, what Enterprise modules do.

Many people, myself for one, do not want to give bandwidth to the Enterprise universe.  It feels a trap with no escape.
Better to encourage Enterprise to open itself to the Community rather than the community to close itself to the enterprise.

Magento it seems, has navigated this conundrum ok, but not with regards to requiring "open software" in modules they list in their directory

Joomla has done better by allowing "charge for service/consult" but absolute insistence on Open Source builds if, at a minimum, they are to list Modules and Components from 3rd Parties in their library.

My opinion only.  Not a statement of absolute truth or anything else.

Best regards and thank you all.

Technically not an issue, but legally yes. Currently the OCA does not
have access to odoo/enterprise.
