Understanding the GPLv3 License
#22

To answer that, I won't package the other CMS or software with my themes because they are way too large. I've been looking for a Micro CMS so I could do a complete ready to go package without depending on any existing installation (other than PHP environment of course). What ever MCMS I choose I want to choose for that option alone.

but GetSimple and the portion of you HTML/PHP code must remain GPLv3.

Not sure if I like the idea of distributing modified core version of GetSimple and still calling it GetSimple though as its not officially GetSimple.

If you have changes to the core that you need done, why not submit them to the Issue tracker on Github.

Thank you n00dles! This was exactly the public response I was hoping for!
COOL! sorry if I struck a funny chord for a moment there... everything's kosher now! thank you! Big Grin
