Hi i would like to know if its posible to take oledrion and develop it more.

I mean, there are things that are really good, but others that needs a lot o development.

Due to the unfortunelly fact that instant zero "is not with us anymore" i ask:
can i take oledrion to use it "as a base" for another module?



Added(with edit)
there are a lots of:
, everywhere. i want to develop a totally free module, without all that

I think you can continue the development of this module, while retaining the original developer of credit, eg :

hi'

Oledrion, as all free Hervet modules, is developed under GPL License. You are free to do what you want with this code.

I would be please to help you if you need (not for dev but templates or tutorials).

It is very unlikely, that this will happen. However the current version is GPL, so you are free to use, extend, modify it as you like. Quote:

You must leave the original copyrights and credits. You can add your own copyright notice eg modified, extended by .. The code itself can be changed at will. Of course if it stays compatible and upgradable with the current version, you may attract other people to use your module and they will help with wish lists and debugging.

If I understand it correctly, under the Oledrion license of the GPL, the original author(s) retains the copyrights to the code they develop; however you are free to use and build upon it as you desire SO LONG AS you retain all the copyright and credit information as originally presented to the OS community. So, yes, you may move it forward build upon it, etc. You may not sell the code (but you may sell a service that uses the code underneath it). Thus, if you distribute code, and the code contains others copywritten works, then you must include the credits.

Clear as mud?
