It's allowed to use CWP or modify it for your own server needs, like building custom modules ....

actually . this is a valid question , if you want to keep it free for all. editable. you should officially distribute it under GNU PGL license.

" The GNU General Public License (GNU GPL or GPL) is the most widely used free software license, which guarantees end users (individuals, organizations, companies) the freedoms to use, study, share (copy), and modify the software. Software that allows these rights is called free software and, if the software is copylefted, requires those rights to be retained "

You don't want to end up with a "CWP-Ultimate" made by sore random guy modifying your original work and asking 20$ for it

This is how i see it. I'm not a license expert, but this software has NO licensing at all. Don't?

It can be treated as Freeware because it's free to use.
It's free to edit/modify/share, but you can edit only unencrypted part, the addition code part, menu building. module addons.

This is not GPL, is not Opensource and is not under other license. If you can break that encryption, there are no prohibitions published into webpage nor attached license document. (watch http://centos-webpanel.com/terms-of-service (http://centos-webpanel.com/terms-of-service))

When the publisher finally put the license file over a version, that applies to that version, so you can use AS YOU WANT the older versions, like the actual.

I wanna recommend developer to put ANY license, because code encription is only time based. Time based mean that someday one guy will break encription used (Zen i guess, not ionCube).

Regards and thank you for this software.

Yes,
having this software free to use is really nice, it has many good features, the GUI is well designed ... everything you need to start hosting websites.
Its always good idea to know what kind of software you run on your server. For me personally it is a must. BSD has a nice licencing features since it allows you to incoroprate your code in closed source software:

Quote

The BSD License allows proprietary use and allows the software released under the license to be incorporated into proprietary products. Works based on the material may be released under a proprietary license as closed source software.

ISPconfig that I use has BSD licence and their software is open source, not sure how well they do with donations but it seems they do ok.
