RosYama has opened the source code of the site under a free license
A week ago, the coordinator of the famous RosYama project announced the opening of the site’s source code (PHP scripts) under a BSD-like license: “Since we are not able to track all the clones of the RosYama that may arise, and in general everything that our enterprising can come up with compatriots, decided to choose a license more freely. Anyone can download the source code for free, change it as they like, use it in their projects, including commercial and closed ones, ”said the representative of the Greensight web studio, which made the development of the site.
The repository on Mercurial is located at hg.rosyama.ru . Cloning:
Upgrading to a new version - with the hg pull command . Support and updating of the project continues, the repository is open only on pull. The bug tracker operates at trac.rosyama.ru.
The development price of RosYama is about 200,000 rubles. Considering the cost and public importance of the project, the transition to Open Source is welcome, despite all the negative points.
And now about the negative points. The main reason for criticism is the CMS used, which has nothing to do with Open Source. Unfortunately for adherents of free code, the Bitrix CMS is used here. The developers explain their choice of CMS in this way: “When we started work on RosYama, we did not assume that we would ever open the source, well, we took Bitrix“ by inertia ”- we are used to working with it. A significant part of the budget of Greensight is the sale of sites on Bitrix with a custom design and components for corporate clients. I agree with those who say: “Bitrix is a helpless monstrous epic ridiculously”, but we do not have our own self-written CMS, but in Bitrix there is authorization through social networks, so it provides RosYama with all the basic functionality ”(vocabulary and spelling unchanged) .
Thus, in order to clone a project, you need to buy at least a minimum Bitrix license (except the very minimum for two information blocks).
The project is implemented as a separate module, which contains a description of static classes with basic functionality. This module can be installed through the Bitrix admin panel. The bitrix / components / greensight folder contains the components.
No one bothers, in principle, porting the project to another platform, for example, WordPress.
