We all have something here in common so we could work on adding a dating site to our website. (and release it as open source of course)

The "light version" is not clear to me. Does this mean that part of an addon can be excluded? For example, one of my addons has a reports section with five reports. Are you saying that could be changed to four reports and have the fifth say something like, "Only available in the paid package."? I'm no expert in open source law but doesn't that violate it? Or am I missing the point entirely?

If the code in the fifth report uses GPL code, then the fifth report must also be licensed under the GPL.

Hi All..

This topic was locked last night due to inappropriate behaviour. Several postings in this topic were removed and Laurent (foxp2) received a 48 hour suspension and final warning due to his behaviour.

Criticism is welcome and can be part of a good discussion as long as it is constructive and progresses the discussion further. "Name calling" and "personal vendettas" not only stop the discussion from progressing, it is also inappropriate and intolerable in this community.

Please also do not judge someone for not being a Community Sponsor. Community Sponsorship is not a requirement. Community members are welcome to provide value by other means (Add-Ons, support in the forum, feedback, ...).

Back on topic.
  • Commercial advertisements are not allowed in Add-On descriptions. Developers are however welcome to promote their commercial services and donation links in the documentation inside their Add-On download package.
  • Add-Ons must have code and functionality included.
  • Functional demos or light versions are also welcome as long as the code for the functional parts are included.
  • Add-Ons without code or require an external download for functionality are not allowed.

So if anyone writes that they are not contravening the GPL all is ok?

If we have confirmation and assurance that no violations are occurring and we have no reports that prove otherwise, yes - that is enough. This correspondence will obviously help us with legal aid when a reported violation has been confirmed.

I don't know how he has coded his Add-Ons however whoever has received his complete solutions can redistribute the GPL parts without concern. If his Auction Add-On has been coded in a way that does not use GPL code, he is free to choose the licensing and terms for his work which his customers must abide by.
