If any user operates a site that removes, alters or in anyway takes credit for someone else's work, they will be banned from Trickedoutnews.com. I have noticed a couple of users are operating sites that have removed the RavenNuke link and copyright in the footer of their sites. I have also noticed one user in particular that has gone as far as to take credit for other peoples modules and themes. If these people do not fix the issue asap, I will be forced to ban them and block their known ip addresses.

Bobby!

Thank you much for this post. You might ask why I say this.
It is too soon to approach the appropriate developers of PHP open-source software I use.

I started using open source software in year 2010. Wordpress were my first. Under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation for Wordpress, I did not qualify to use Wordpress for my purposes. Trust me. I was very sad. I was determined not to brake any copyright laws. I eventually uninstalled Wordpress.

I searched the internet for an open source software with a GNU General Public License that met my criteria.

I found phpNuke. Later, I upgraded to RavenNuke.
Part of the RavenNuke 2.50.00 GPL License reads:

While the software contained in this distro is generally and mostly GPL (unless specified otherwise, such as the RavenStaller(tm)), there is also a Moral, Ethical, and Professional responsibility implicitly present in all the code. Please respect all of the different author's wishes, as much as is possible, as you encounter them.

Also, the GPL requires that you keep all copyrights, link-backs, etc. in the footers. Regardless of where/how you obtain a theme, you are required to leave the FOOTER in tact. You are not allowed to remove the RavenNuke(tm) copyrights and link back anchor tags.

For full text of the GPL Version 2 license, see it on-line here:

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.txt

Raven Web Services(tm) LLC
2012-01-10


If I do not respect the copyright laws of any software, then I am not worthy of using them, especially if they are free. Such as open source software.

RavenNuke, phpBB and NukeC mean the world to me. In return, I respect all copyright laws.

What would I do without the upgrades and support that are provided?
How much would the upgrades and support that are provided cost?


Think! Think! Think! Sad

I am running RavenNuke 2.5 Full on my site at www.bestbuildpc.org. I only have 2 themes, Dolphins and RickTido. The copyright remains always and I am glad to let it like that.

www.bestbuildpc.net is Xtreme V6 phpnuke 8.1( with a lot of mods and some things from old ravennuke version. If someone has any issue with it I can put a link to the raven link. Let me know.

...its very funny, you have 607 errors and 23 warnings on the index... you are right - its very Xtreme Smile

btw i think is not the best practice to post your urls in some threads. it looks like a shame. this is an support forum and not a link collection site!
