Re-Selling?

Hello!

I'm building a new affiliate system / shopping cart and am considering building upon ZenCart's existing functionality.

My question is, am I legally allowed to resell my new software if it is a modified version of ZenCart?

Sincerely,
Russell

Re: Re-Selling?

Hi

The way that I understand the GPL license is that you are allowed to add/modify and resell as your new software.

Original copyrights must be retained and attributed. You can't just take that out.

However, as it is based on a GPL license, your modification also has to be licensed as GPL. This means that I could then purchase a copy of your software and then choose to give it away or, indeed, resell it as well.

Would be good for someone to confirm this though.

Cheers,
K

Re: Re-Selling?

If you were to build an add-on to zen cart you can sell it and give it a commerciall license when zen cart is included you can still sell it but with the implications written above.

I came, I saw, I got zenned... :)
