toolman Posted September 10, 2005 Author Share Posted September 10, 2005 ok, but am i allowed to do that? or is it copyrighted or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushindo Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 oscommerce is released under the GNU public license. Meaning in short that while oscommere copyrights most of its contents, it is owned by everyone. It is open source software application. Anyone can take the program and reuse it, redistirbute it, customize it, basically whatever they want to do...short of claiming it to be their own. Another good way to look at it: you shouldnt charge a customer for oscommerce itself, but you CAN charge for designs, customization of oscommerce, installation fees, contribution installs, etc. Hope that helps.
