PHP_PhREEEk Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 You can distribute any code that you authored any way you like. You can give it away, charge for it, make it shareware, whatever. If you borrow code (no matter how small) that an author previously had a particular GPL license assigned to, then your script generally inherits that same GPL license. This type of discussion can flame up very quickly, so I'll leave it at that basic component. If your questions is, does PHP or MySQL hold any license over your original application, the answer is NO. You are free to do with your work whatever you wish. PhREEEk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooldude832 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Php_PhReek that isn't what they are talking about they are talking about a system similar to novells distrbitued software in which a single copy exist on a central location and remote users access it via a socket connection or some type of system. You could do this in php/mysql however if the software is large and the number of users is large mysql might be slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHP_PhREEEk Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Sorry if I misunderstood. I guess the OP will have to clarify.. I thought the 'distributed application' would be an original piece of work. PhREEEk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
