Getting rid of Zen cart copyright etc

I know if you get rid of this on the site you cant put it in the review section here, which isn't a problem. But I have noticed that Zen cart is dotted about the script etc.

Can I just delete this or does it have to be kept?

You may remove the copyright from your footer, but NOT from any of the code, so the answer to your question is no.

Why are you so intent on removing the Zen Cart copyright information? Are you ashamed of it or something? Or do you not like the free software you're using on your site? If you don't like it, you don't have to use it.

You are bound by the GPL software license (remember that license screen you had to read when you installed Zen Cart?) to retain Zen Cart's copyright details in all the code files.

You may remove the **display **of Zen Cart's copyright from the footer of your site's display to visitors via their browser and emails by altering the appropriate notices in the language files where the copyright details are generated ... only if you have changed the layout and used all brand-new graphics (not those supplied by Zen Cart) in your template or site design.

However, the copyright details **must **be kept in all the PHP file headers.
And in the admin, the Zen Cart copyright must be kept and displayed as originally written.

There is more clarification in other forum posts and also in this FAQ:

wouldnt say I was intent..just wanted to make sure that if I deleted stuff it was ok...trying to clean up code and dont want copyright on emails as I dont think it looks professional for order emails...just our opinion here.

Thanks for the info and link...will have a look/read.

:bigups:

You should have been clear, well if you want to delete the copyright from the email I think you can do that.

Yes, you should be able to remove it from the footer of your website and places like the email. I'm not sure where the email part is located, but there was a thread about that on the forum recently. Your original intent wasn't very clear. It sounded like you wanted to remove information from within the code itself.
