License

Drake CMS is released under the GNU General Public license (click to read the full text), abbreviated as GNU/GPL. The license provides for a person or persons to distribute Drake CMS for a fee, but to actually not charge for the software itself as Drake CMS is free.

Drake CMS is free to share and change, but, what if I change it in anyway, can I also change the license and make it commercial?

The answer is: No! The whole GPL is devoted to ensuring this does not happen. Copyright, a much more refined and stringent law will prevent this as well.

You MAY distribute it and charge for that service. You MAY change it, add design and content to it and you MAY charge for that. You may NOT alter the license and you must NOT alter the copyright.

In other words, you must NOT pretend that Drake CMS is yours, and you must NOT charge people for Drake CMS.
