tqla Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Hello. I'm wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. I made a script that I want to sell online. Is there a website page somewhere that can shed some light on EULA's, copyright notices in the code, etc? Thanks!

JonnoTheDev Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 It really doesn't make any difference what you put in.

tqla Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 That works. The bigger question is licenses. If one releases something under GNU how do they actually make money? I use GNU software too, so I'm not a stranger to the benefits of it from a user standpoint - but what about the creator? Hmmm, torn.

JonnoTheDev Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 That works. The bigger question is licenses. If one releases something under GNU how do they actually make money? Mainly from contributions. Not from the software. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/194790-eulas-copyright-ect/#findComment-1024459 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel0 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Releasing someone under the GPL license doesn't prevent you from taking money for script just either. Just saying... You can also charge for support contracts. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/194790-eulas-copyright-ect/#findComment-1024473 Share on other sites More sharing options...
