Agree with Olar.
And that is the beauty: GPL is viral !!.

If you create a OpenERP module, You simply cant avoid using
OpenERP code licensed by AGPL, by using the Framework, you are
using OpenERP. You can do whatever you want with your modules,
just remember from where everything comes from.

I think you miss one point. Getting the source code is not
enough to use it. You still need the license from the
author that allows you to republish the code, use it in
your own own programs, etc.
Is it possible to find a solution, where openerp and the
core modules of openerp is open source, but OpenERP allows
to build other modules with commercial licences? I'm not
an expert in licenses but it all goes with the question
about the nature of AGPL and licences compatibility.
I am quite sure that it is possible to create a comercial
software that would communicate with OpenERP via xml-rpc.
But the question is, is it possible to create a
closed-license OpenERP module.
Assume that somebody writes an OpenERP module without
copying a line of code from OpenERP AGPL licenced modules.
I am quite sure that at this point you can licence it
however you want and distribte it in any way you want.
There are several important questions that have to be
answered.
1. Can you distribute the module together with other
OpenERP AGPL licenced modules?
2. Can anyone who bought this module import it to OpenERP
(Assuming that he or she uses it internally in his/hers
company)?
3. If a company A who bought this module shows the system
to company B, can company B ask company A to show him/her
the source code of this module because of OpenERP AGPL
license?
4. If a company A who bought this module shows the system
to company B and company C gets info that such module
exists, can company C ask for the source code ot the module?
5. If answers for the questions 3 or 4 is "Yes", can the
license in the module forbid the company B or C to use the
code, publish, sell, change, incorporate any programs?
6. If answer for the question 5 is "Yes", can you
distribute a "dirty" version of the code, for example with
names of the variables chanded, with no comments, with all
xml, yaml, rml, css files taken out.
I think that if we answer these five questions we will get
the answer, whether it is possible to create any
"sellable" OpenERP modules.
Does anyone have any answers to any of the these question.

It means for me what it means for many licences authors :
software is distributed with the source code. As
explained for example in GPL, AGP licences.
Kind regards
