Understanding the Zen-Cart License

Hello,

I need some help understanding my ability to access and use the code of other Zen-Cart websites, and, for that matter, their right to access and use the code of my Zen-Cart website.

Does the license work such that I can request to see the code for any Zen-Cart website that I find?

Thanks.

Simple answer? No. There is no requirement to distribute custom code.

Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

Such thing would be ridiculous.

ZC uses GNU v2 I believe:

I no longer provide installation support on forum for all my modules. However, if there are real bugs with the modules please feel free to contact me
