Drupal licensing GPL

Hello all,

As you know Drupal is licensed under GPL and so are its contributed modules. Our team is using a lot of contributed modules on top of the core modules.

Will the html, our website that is generated (which is built by various different core/contributed modules/custom modules) will be also under GPL? Can you please confirm this?

Thanks,

Neela Joshi

Question about GPL and NON-PHP Themes

If I build a Theme that uses no PHP or GPL'd JavaScript but does incorporate PERL code in the template would that PERL code need to be GPL'd?

I realize of course this would mean that the hosting installation would have to have PERL enabled on their server (not a normal Drupal setup) but I don't think that is the same as "requiring a 3rd party proprietary program" since PERL is open source and quite common on many hosting services.

Drupal, GPL and module development

Hi,

I am currently looking into using Drupal as a framework for Web
Application development. However, I was hoping that I could get some
clarification as to my potential obligations for modules that I would
develop under contract for my clients. My understanding according to
Licensing FAQ Question 8 (http://drupal.org/licensing/faq#q8) is that my
obligation under the GPL extends to delivering the module to the client
under a GPL license and that I am under no obligation to distribute it any
further.

Is that a correct reading of your intent with regard to that FAQ question
