License breach or not?

(1/4) > >>

Hi,

this website offers WB under their own name: http://www.thewebdepartment.com.au/admin/login/index.php

There is no mention of WB whatsoever. Is this allowed? I read the license info, but I don't understand if you can take WB, and offer it as your own CMS. If you study http://www.thewebdepartment.com.au and the function demos, it seems to be just a standard WB.

A clear breach.

Hello,

there is no license issue on the backend above.

WB is licensed under Gnu GPL. As long as the link to gnu gpl stays there is no license violence.

The Wish to let the link and name WebsiteBaker also on the backend is not intgrated in Gnu GPL and can be deleted.

Not fine but legal.

Argos:
So it is allowed to rename WB and pass it on as your own CMS, without mentioning WB anywhere? As long as you put the GNU link there?

We don't see the admin account (logged in, that is) of course, but if there isn't a mention of WB either, it is still legally okay?

it's funny that this cms-clony comes from sydney-australia.....ryan's homecountry...
