IMHO that's OK, per the latest manual, section 1.8: The web2py license also includes a commercial exception: You may distribute an application you developed with web2py together with an unmodified official binary distribution of web2py, as downloaded from the official website[1], as long as you make it clear in the license of your application which files belong to the application and which files belong to web2py. > Oh, and how do I create the Windows "exe" file or Mac app that runs web2py > with my default application and initialized database installed? Can't help you there mate, I have not done that.
