CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

[Get Em Fast]

Okay. I have been doing some researching myself, as well. And it seems no matter what, I cannot copyright my code AND include it with the GPL code, as that would be illegal............and I'm not one to be breaking laws.................ESPECIALLY ones that could land me in a federal prison. :)

So............I'll just continue down that same old path as I have been............

• Submit the jquery version to the downloads.
• Add a GPL license with it.
• Ask for donations for all the hard work (in text form only)
• Add it to my site as a product, BUT include a disclaimer that the so-called "product" is ONLY for INSTALLATION and/or STYLING the menu to the customers' exact specifications. AND include that the "product" is NOT a download, but ONLY a purchase of SERVICES, and that the actual module is freely available for download in the Zen-Cart downloads section.

Now, if understand it correctly, all of the above IS the correct way to go about it, right?

Sounds like you got it straight..

Well, maybe. But it does bring me to a question:

IF no GPL software can be modified and sold without it ALSO becoming GPL licensed software, then how does GPL software like Fast and Easy Checkout become Fast and Easy AJAX Checkout with a $75.00 price tag?

Don't get me wrong here..........I'm not trying to get anybody in trouble...........I'm just trying to find out what the difference is in Numinix doing that and ME doing what I was planning, and how he made the legal transition.

Jquery version re-submitted.

Anyone can charge for any GPL code, they just can't require any exclusive rights over it. Someone who bought the $75 FEC/AJAX could legally give it away to as many people as they wanted, or even resell it (keeping the original authors' information in it).
The secret to making money from something like this is to have it be worthwhile for people to get it directly from you, with superior support etc. (you can't withhold support for something that is available from the support site, though you don't have to support that elsewhere.)
