+--- Thema: Änderungen in der Lizenz für MyBB 1.2 (/thread-2876.html)
Änderungen in der Lizenz für MyBB 1.2 - Michael - 02.09.2006
Die bisherige Lizenz des MyBB ist sehr beschränkend im Bezug auf Modifizierung und Verbreitung/Weitergabe. Sie beinhaltete zudem viele gesetzliche Punkte, die komliziert waren und teilweise missverstanden wurden.
Heute hat die MyBB Group ein geändertes Lizenzabkommen für MyBB 1.2 angekündigt.
Zusammenfassung der Änderungen:
- Die Verbreitung/Weitergabe des MyBB ist nun erlaubt. Dieser Schritt ermöglicht die Bereitstellung komplett modifizierter oder auch lokalisierter Versionen des MyBB.
- Es ist jetzt eindeutig, welcher Copyrighthinweis im Forum erscheinen muss
Die neue Lizenzvereinbarung gilt für MyBB 1.2 und spätere Versionen, für MyBB 1.1.x gelten die bisherigen Bedingungen.

You agree that no support will be given to those who use the distributed modified copies.
