[quote="iiinetworks"]Sure, but you aren't discussing it, and frankly, the only store which you should hold up for discussion is your own.

The discussion is not about the store, but about selling osCommerce system without copyright notes and without respect to GPL rules (that's why it's in this specific forum). That considered, the idea of holding up MY store for discussion (which system is not for sale) is, frankly, just ridiculous.

[quote="iiinetworks"]In general, these situations are best left in the hands of the OSC team.  That way, they can control how it is handled (and its handling reflects on them--even when others are involved to the point that it shouldn't).  It's simply a matter of common politeness to offer them that chance (and if they had seen this first, they also would have requested that in the future that you email them; at least, that is what they have done in the past).

Agree. But sounds reasonable that a GPL forum would be a nice place to report the OSC team about GPL issues.

[quote="zaq"]How would you like it if I posted a link to [i]your [/i]admin?[/quote]

My admin would be protected. Their admin is not protected because it's a sample admin used to show it to possible buyers of the system (osCommerce). Anyway, you can always link to my site...

By the way, and this is a question that I think might be discussed: selling osCommerce with little or no modification, not making available the source codes and removing original copyright information IS or IS NOT considered copyright violation?
