![]() This means that installing/adding a component/module/plugin to Joomla! is creating a combined work, if the third party developer doesn't want to violate the GPL he will need to release the module/component/plugin under the GPL or GPL-compatible license. If either part is covered by the GPL, the whole combination must also be released under the GPL-if you can't, or won't, do that, you may not combine them. ![]() This means the plug-ins must be released under the GPL or a GPL-compatible free software license, and that the terms of the GPL must be followed when those plug-ins are distributed.Ĭombining two modules means connecting them together so that they form a single larger program. If the program dynamically links plug-ins, and they make function calls to each other and share data structures, we believe they form a single program, which must be treated as an extension of both the main program and the plug-ins. ![]() There are many extensions on the extensions site that are not GPL, and so I would have assumed that they would be able to encrypt these extensions. Can you clarify this Johan? I was under the impression that extensions didn't have to be released with a GPL license.
