Just to clarify: the GPL is triggered by *distribution* -- not *use*. Plone 4 is licensed under GPL v 2. If you are going to distribute Plone 4, or a component dependent on Plone 4, it must be distributed under GPL v 2.
Plone versions earlier than 4 were licensed for distribution under GPL v 2 "or later." Those versions of Plone may, in theory, be combined with GPL 3 components and distributed under GPL 3. 2010/10/12 Wichert Akkerman <[email protected]> > On 2010-10-12 19:03, Lázaro Clapp wrote: > > Hello, > > > > I'm just starting to work on a Plone add-on product.
