Hi from Will / Licence question

In New to UserSpice? · Started by willb on 2017-09-10 9:24 am · 9712 views · 3 replies

Hi everyone. I'm Will, in Bristol, UK.

I'm looking at using UserSpice for a Crossword-designing site I'm working on. It looks like it could be perfect for my project - and it's great to see how actively it's being maintained.

I wonder if anyone can help me understand what the GNU GPL means for the rest of my site though? If I use UserSpice as a component, does that mean I must release all my code under the same license? How do others do this?

Thanks,
Will
No. That just pertains to the userspice core. No matter which version of the source you're on, it's available here...
https://github.com/mudmin/UserSpice4/commits/master

So I think you're pretty safe. I have closed-source projects based on userspice myself.
Thanks for clarifying, Mudmin! Much appreciated. I'll post a link once I've got it working :-)
I can't wait to see it!
