. I think you should request permission, if you haven't already done so, from the author before providing non-GPL stuff as a download.

...but if the mod requires nuke to run then it is covered by the GPL.

jjh221, KGuske has provided you with a link on his site. Just use it. EDL is what I use here. I bought it to support Shaun way back when Smile

.

But it does continue to raise the constant very often misunderstanding of GPL vs. non GPL. Since phpNuke is GPL, all derivatives, including RavenNuke(tm) must be GPL also - No exceptions. The GPL states that if an application is released as GPL then all code that requires phpNuke to run must be licensed as GPL. The GPL does allow for charging a reasonable fee for the delivery medium of the script, but not for use of the script. Once you have a copy of the script you can release it for free and it is legal. Releasing it for free, at this point, becomes an ethical/professional issue.

That's why I don't "charge" for RavenNuke(tm) and other scripts I write for the public. It really becomes a lost cause. Legally an author has no recourse nor legal standing when it gets into the public.

For further and a pretty thorough discussion on this, see these posts. Warning: Danger Will Robinson! The debate can get heated at times killing me

Download it and see. I'm pretty sure it's for the whole thing.

Not on my site - just the changes to make it work with nukeWYSIWYG.
