Re: Joomla Copyright in GPL

Thanks all. Interesting discussion and probably more far reaching then just Joomla as it affects the rebranding and selling of any GNU software.  After reading the posts and associated links it appears that you can sell Joomla after rebranding as your own, you can also resell it WITHOUT rebrand...

Re: Joomla Copyright in GPL

So from reading the posts it appears that it is OK (not license or copyright violation so legal?) to rebrand and sell the Joomla system, just not ethical?

Re: Joomla Copyright in GPL

So I come across a site http://www.wisedot.ca and it appears they have rebranded the joomla code and are selling it as thier own.  Is that a copyright viloation or is this acceptable?  An example of where it has been sold is at http://ridgemeadowshomeshow.com/ and http://www.ridgemeadowschamber.com/
