umm... if the author of the app has included terms saying that you can use the app, provided that you keep the links/etc... then no, you can't violate the terms... however, in reality, of course people do it all the time... the single guy, or a few guys who are working on an open source app, aren't going to have the resources to try and track down these situations... but as far as selling the code, if the code is "gpl" you can sell it, provided you also make the source code available to the end user if they want it... peace.. -----Original Message----- From: Richard Heyes [mailto:richardh@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2008 8:23 AM To: jeffry s Cc: PHP General list Subject: Re: selling gpl software? jeffry s wrote: > i know it is forbidden to sell open source software.
