xweber's assertion that you cannot sell GPL'd software is incorrect. You are, in fact allowed sell GPL'd software as long as you do not try to sell it as proprietary software. If you modify it, you must keep your modifications also GPL licensed, but you do not have to ask anyone's permission to sell it or charge a fee to set it up.

Therefore, you are completely free to use any GPL'd software to set up a website and you are perfectly free to charge a fee for that service. If in setting it up, you make some modifications to the software you are required by law to contribute those changes under the terms of the GPL. However, you are not required to ask anyone's permission to use GPL'd software commercially or for any imaginable or unimaginable purpose.

openphpnuke is released under the GPL. You will find a lot of information about that license via google. the GPL license document is also include in the opn package.
Just some notes around GPL:
- GPL things can also be used for commercial things.
- It is not allowed to resell a GPL thing
- It is not allowed to resell even a part of a GPL thing
- copyright must be leaved as they are
- many more points...

There is no need for a link back to this site. However it would be very kind to do so and known as "good style". Even to make some little "advertisment" for opn would be nice, but not a "must". This is a project that may be used without any fee - however donations are welcome

For a link we also have a image:

I'm looking to rapidly generate a website for the company I work for. Can someone please tell me what license I would need? Is openphpnuke advertising based? Would I need to link back to the homepage?

I can't find aly infomation anywhere.

Thanks all in advance.
