Alt D.	Wednesday 30 August 2006 4:46:13 pm Hello, I do have read the eZ Publish CMS licenses, but i do have still some questions which are : 1. The Dual license : It means that the eZ Publish CMS is totally Free ? and can i remove/modify the "eZ Copyright, templates, core, libraries, extensions etc." ? 2. The GPL license : <b>It means that i will have the Full Rights to remove/modify/etc the "eZ Copyright, templates, core, libraries, extensions etc."</b> of eZ Publish CMS ? 3. Which license i can use for a <b>Commercial site</b> ? Please clarify or give me more details about my both questions above, Thanks and see you.
Zak Greant	Thursday 31 August 2006 7:35:26 am Dear Alt D., Regarding questions 1 and 2: None of the licenses (GPL, eZ PUL or eZ publish Professional License) allow you to remove the copyright and other legal notices from the eZ source code. Regarding question 3: You can use any license (GPL, eZ PUL or eZ publish Professional License) for a commercial site. If you want a guarantee for your the copy of eZ, you should purchase the eZ PUL license (which includes a guarantee) or buy the guarantee for the GPL. If you make and sell a solution based on eZ publish and do not want to GPL license your code, you should purchase a eZ publish Professional License. If you have other questions, please write.
Alt D.	Thursday 31 August 2006 6:13:52 pm Hello Zak, I thought the "eZ publish Professional License" allow to remove the eZ Copyright from Front-end pages. Because in the "Readme" file of eZ said this below : <b>The eZ publish Professional License gives you the right to use the source code for making your own commercial software. It allows you full protection of your work made with eZ publish. You may re-brand, license and close your source code. eZ publish is not free of charge when used under the terms of the Professional License.</b> So i'm confusing on it..
