Hi.

Can I sell modified versions of core DotNetNuke modules (like blog, wiki, .... ) ?
What legal principles I need to be aware of when doing so ?

 Yes.  DNN core and core modules may be resold (even if un-modified, apparently).  You are not, however, allowed to use the name "DotNetNuke" in such cases.  There have been a number of modules sold on Snowcovered that were just modified versions of core modules (though I dare say that many people may have a low opinion of such products if it's overly apparent that a "for pay" module originated from a core module).
 
Here's a similar question from a couple of years ago:

...and a mention in another thread (see Nina Meiers' repsonse):

Of course you can ..... any code in the whole dotnetnuke project you can reuse .... but you need to keep the classic dotnetnuke text insde the code when doing so AND you cannot claim this is dotnetnuke so you need your own productname

 

This leads me to question .... are you allowed to name you product dotnetnukeABC for example?
