If you believe you should be on the list then please raise a new ticket in Trac pointing out what you contributed and when (the actual changeset number is really handy). I'll validate it then add you as soon as I can.</p> <p>If anyone out there who has some experience in the field of applying the GPL to projects wants to constructively criticise the way I have applied the license to the project then please go ahead. However we will not be applying headers to every file at this stage. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/about-the-license#post-11406 Fri, 12 Oct 2007 15:06:55 +0000 sambauers 11406@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>bbPress is released under the GPL v.2</p> <p>Unless you plan to redistribute (i.e. give away or sell) your modified code, you are under no obligation to release your modified source code. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/about-the-license#post-11405 Fri, 12 Oct 2007 14:55:43 +0000 pacino 11405@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>What's the license that bbpress is using? GPL?</p> <p>And, I am wondering whether it is possible to use bbpress (with some modification) in a commercial website and open source only the modified bbpress (that is, the rest of the website will not be open sourced)?</p> <p>Thanks </p>
