You should consult with a real attorney and get his/her input before taking any action on this matter. Do not follow my advice on anything. That said, if I wanted to control a site, part of that effort would be for me to retain ownership of the domain name that was used as the site's address.[/quote] Hi Tim Thanks for your reply. Even if I owned the domain I dont think that under the GPL I would be able to maintain control. Its interesting this, because you can spend many hours customising a cart only to have to give everything away for someone else to pick up. But I guess thats exactly what I have done, the GPL makes it difficult I think to operate it as a watertight business.
