# 0013 — TinyMCE pinned to 6.8.6
|
|
|
|
## Context
|
|
TinyMCE releases from 7.0 onward are licensed under a proprietary/commercial
|
|
license (with a source-available "open core" carve-out that no longer covers
|
|
the full feature set previously used). TinyMCE 6.8.6 is the last release
|
|
published under the plain MIT license. The active app vendors TinyMCE
|
|
directly under `Fuchs/wwwroot/lib/tinymce/` (currently 6.8.6) rather than via
|
|
a package manager that enforces license terms automatically. A second,
|
|
older vendor drop lives at `Fuchs/Scripts/tinymce/` (currently 6.3.1) used
|
|
only by the legacy `Intranet_Legacy` VB.NET app — it is not required to
|
|
match the active app's version, only to stay under the same ceiling.
|
|
|
|
## Decision
|
|
TinyMCE must never be upgraded beyond **6.8.6**, in either vendored copy.
|
|
Any change that touches `Fuchs/wwwroot/lib/tinymce/` must keep `version` in
|
|
its `package.json` at `6.8.6` or lower. Do not pull in a newer TinyMCE
|
|
release, plugin, or skin — including via `npm`/`bower`/`composer` metadata
|
|
files bundled in the vendor folder — even to pick up a bug fix or new
|
|
plugin.
|
|
|
|
## Consequences
|
|
- Security/bug fixes for TinyMCE past 6.8.6 will not be available; any such
|
|
issue must be worked around locally (patch the vendored copy) rather than
|
|
by upgrading.
|
|
- New TinyMCE features/plugins released in 7.x+ are off-limits unless the
|
|
project separately decides to accept the commercial license (a decision
|
|
that would supersede this one).
|
|
- The two vendored copies do not need to share the same version, but neither
|
|
may exceed 6.8.6.
|
|
|
|
## Alternatives considered
|
|
- **Upgrade to latest TinyMCE and accept the commercial license terms** —
|
|
rejected: no budget/approval for a commercial license, and the project has
|
|
no other proprietary runtime dependencies of this kind.
|
|
- **Switch to a different MIT-licensed rich text editor** — rejected for now
|
|
as out of scope; would require rewriting the existing draft-editing
|
|
integration (see `Fuchs/Docs/Concepts/live-draft-editing.md`). Can be
|
|
revisited later.
