I have a question about the DotNetNuke license for community edition. The license in part says: DotNetNuke® - http://www.dotnetnuke.com Copyright (c) 2002-2009 by DotNetNuke Corporation Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software. Does this mean that every single page or section of my businesses portal has to have a DotNetNuke copyright notice all over it? This is something that would get the people that visit the website very confused (they would think that DotNetNuke owns and runs the website). It might detract users quite a bit. Don't know if our business has the money to have the notices removed since we are very small business that is just trying to get off the ground. Any ideas?

Accepted Answer 

you are not allowed to take the copyright notice out of the source code files (.vb, .ascx, ...) but you don't have to display anything on your site.

Ok. So I don't have to display any DotNetNuke legal stuff on the site itself, but it needs to stay in the source code. That isn't a huge problem since I am the only one looking at the source anyways. When I make custom modules and use the module project for VS2008, it puts the same notice at the top of the source code. Do I have to leave that there as well?

no, not if you create your own module. only if you just distribute a slightly modified module template
