New owner of CMSimple
Posted: Tue Nov 06, 2012 11:31 am
All royalties, intellectual rights and domain names for CMSimple has been taken over by Gert Ebersbach.
Gert intends to keep the CMS alive with the same spirit as the system was developed by me.
The purchaser is obligated to keep the current source code and documentation available at cmsimple.org for the coming years and may take over new development, with or without GPL, as long as the old GPL versions are kept available for free download.
The use of the CMSimple name mainly in combination with other words has been approved for other CMSimple-projects, translations and forks, as long as it keeps to the AGPL/GPL and has a very clear and readable reference to cmsimple.org. It is to be kept this way in future.
The copyright notice in all files may be modified to the name of the purchaser. Documentation and translations are public domain and may not be copyrighted.
The purchaser may use the different domains for marketing of products and services, which have no connection to or are in competition with CMSimple, even cmsimple.org as long as the current source code and documentation is kept available for users there.
No information about prior customers is given to the purchaser, including e-mails, which have been used for registration of resellers/licences in the database.
The purchaser of CMSimple is not obligated to sell commercial licences in the future. Also, the list of resellers and registered domains with links at http://www.cmsimple.org/?Resellers may be taken down by the new owner.
My best wishes for the future of CMSimple and to Gert. Thanks to the CMSimple community for many good years and all your support.
