Selling addons for a GPL Script

[jamesm87]

Hi,

I have created an Addon to a GPL licensed script on the internet. However, I would like to do the following:

• Encrypt the addon
• At a later date, sell the script to people (Or Transfer for a fee).

I understand this can not go under the GPL because the source code has to be given freely.

Any idea's the best way to go about it?

Thanks 😃

You simply can't,
you can charge for the service though 😉

Clever, we will charge for the Database and server usage 😛

Thanks for that! 😃

If your code does not modify the original GPL source code you can close, and sell, your code just as you would sell any other code. If your code modifies the original GPL source code then it must by open.

What this translates into is that your module can be closed but the calls to it must be open.

However, remember IANAL and TISNLA
