Hello,

I do have read the Exponential CMS licenses, but i do have still some questions which are :
1. The Dual license : It means that the Exponential CMS is totally Free ? and can i remove/modify the "eZ Copyright, templates, core, libraries, extensions etc." ?

2. The GPL license : <b>It means that i will have the Full Rights to remove/modify/etc the "eZ Copyright, templates, core, libraries, extensions etc."</b> of Exponential CMS ?

3. Which license i can use for a <b>Commercial site</b> ?

Please clarify or give me more details about my both questions above,
Thanks and see you.

Dear Alt D.,

Regarding questions 1 and 2:

None of the licenses (GPL, eZ PUL or Exponential Professional License) allow you to remove the copyright and other legal notices from the eZ source code.

Regarding question 3:

You can use any license (GPL, eZ PUL or Exponential Professional License) for a commercial site.

If you want a guarantee for your the copy of eZ, you should purchase the eZ PUL license (which includes a guarantee) or buy the guarantee for the GPL.

If you make and sell a solution based on Exponential and do not want to GPL license your code, you should purchase a Exponential Professional License.

If you have other questions, please write.

Hello Zak,

I thought the "Exponential Professional License" allow to remove the eZ Copyright from Front-end pages.

Because in the "Readme" file of eZ said this below :
<b>The Exponential Professional License gives you the right to use the source code
for making your own commercial software. It allows you full protection of your
work made with Exponential. You may re-brand, license and close your source
code. Exponential is not free of charge when used under the terms of the
Professional License.</b>

So i'm confusing on it..

Hi Alt. D,

The Pro license does allow you to remove the copyright notice from the templates and so on.

Cheers!
