Zenoss Core License

When I look at the zenoss core license here: http://community.zenoss.org/docs/DOC-2618 It talks about GPL2 and separate licenses for the sub-components.

But the description of zenoss core vs commercial here: http://www.zenoss.com/solution/free-vs-enterprise says that core is limited to 1000 devices.

From where does that limit arise, are there some other license terms that I am missing

Many thanks

The limit comes more from the fact that Core is a single instance, lacking the more complex hub/collector architecture of the commercial version. There is no hard limit in Core, but it's a bit harder to scale past 1000 devices. That said several community members have 3,000 or even 5,000 devices running on Core.

It is my understanding that any product that uses GPL needs to include a copy of the specific version of the GPL it is using in its source, or perhaps documentation.

But according to the reply above, the only published Zenoss Corelicense is in an archive site. Is that a misunderstanding

That's not correct. Licenses are included:

- Zenoss 5:

Definitely it has some UI page with all licenses (I don't remember where, probably somewhere in advance section)

+ license header in the source code.

- Zenoss 4:

License header in the source code:

############################################################################## # # Copyright (C) Zenoss, Inc. 2006, all rights reserved.
# # This content is made available according to terms specified in
# License.zenoss under the directory where your Zenoss product is installed. # ##############################################################################

-> You can find file License.zenoss in your source directory. It's GPL v2 license.

Hello everyone. The link provided in the original post seemed to go to the wrong location. Here is the
link to the archived doc: http://monitoringartist.github.io/community.zenoss.org/docs/DOC-2618.html

The limit is based on scalability, because CORE is a single instance.

Cheers!
