The web2py license says the following: ### On Commercial Redistribution
In accordance with LGPL you may: - redistribute web2py with your apps (including official web2py binary versions) - release your applications which use official web2py libraries under any license you wish But you must: - make clear in the documentation that your application uses web2py - release any modification of the web2py libraries under the LGPLv3 license Keep in mind that open source licenses such as the LGPL that web2py uses don't generally restrict whether you can distribute applications commercially and charge customers for the applications. Rather, the license speaks to the rights the customer will then have once they have been given the application (and what exactly you have to give them, such as the source code). In the case of web2py, the framework itself must be distributed with an LGPL license, so your customer would have the rights granted under LGPL with regard to the framework. However, your application itself is considered separate from the framework, so you can distribute the application with whatever license you wish. The only requirement is as stated above -- if distributing your app with web2py, you must make clear in the license/documentation that it is using web2py. Also, note that the welcome app is in the public domain (no license), so you can modify it and distribute the modification with whatever license you wish (though you should check the licenses of the various included third party JS and CSS, such as jQuery and Bootstap to make sure you are in compliance). Massimo may have more to say.
