Mullet I believe what he meant was you can not advertise that you will develop a CakePHP app for money or your company will develop a cakephp for commercial use and sell it. Please correct me if I am wrong. I have dealt with some trademark issues lately with a company I am working with for my employer and they told me it's okay to mention the companies trademark as long as it mentions who owns the trademark and has the trademark symbol by it. Again this might be different for CakePHP but from what I have dealt with I have only had to put the symbol and mention who owns it.
Now the Source Code for CakePHP is different it's name CakePHP that is trademarked not the source code. You can distribute the cakephp source with your apps as long as you don't alter the header information in the source of what was written by the CSF. The source is under the MIT license ... you should check it out so you have more of an understanding of it. http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php If any of these is wrong please correct me anyone. I am sorry to hear that the book has been canceled and there was problems amoung the community but we are better then that we can get past the problems and be more concerned about the community then our personal means. - Jon On Mar 11, 9:02 am, "The Mullet" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > @Mullet > > Trademark and Copyright are two seperate issues.
