It's a slightly complicated question. ColdSpring is released under Apache Source License 2.0 which is very lenient for commercial reuse. Transfer is released under Common Public License which is fairly lenient for commercial reuse. MG:U was originally released under the Lesser General Public License (a bad idea) but has now changed to ASL 2.0 (like ColdSpring). Yes, you can create commercial derive works based on these, as long as you keep all of the copyright and license information intact, including any LICENSE or NOTICE files. ASL requires that if you change any of the files covered by the license, you clearly indicate in those files that you changed them. CPL requires that you include a notice explaining that the source is available and information about how to obtain it. In both cases - ASL and CPL - you as distributor assume all legal liability and absolve the authors of the ASL/CPL code of all liability. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2.
