So if you have modules and themes you're selling to me at a reasonable price, I am free to offer them to the world for free.
Hi Herko, I am not sure if this is accurate, but I could be wrong, (we will need a smarter legal type I am just a programmer ) the GPL/GNU lisence makes provission that you may distribute a add-on to a GPL/GNU product seperately and charge for it and change the licensing if it does not include GPL/GNU code. As long a you do not ship it with the GPL/GNU product. If the person then redistibutes the module and it is not GPL/GNU there might be a licensing infringement.
The .net nuke guys are going through this as well because they have a lot of developers charging for modules.
I would like to see all modules in XOOPS stay GPL/GNU and grow the community. If you are using another module someone developed and it is helping you make money why do you want to charge for a module that could potentially bring more customers to the community and in so doing more developers and more modules?
My 2 cents
