Due to an increasing number of PHPFusion site users removing the copyright notices without permission, we feel we need to clarify our position regarding this issue. As you know, PHPFusion is released under the terms and conditions of the GNU/GPL license (v2). Whilst you may alter the code in any way you wish, you should not remove the "Powered by PHPFusion" footer copyright notice, nor remove the copyright information from any of the included scripts without our permission.
We're not demanding that you pay to use our system, all we're asking is that you show us your respect by retaining the "Powered by PHPFusion" footer copyright notice. If you really want to remove the footer copyright notice please refer to the PHPFusion Licensing page for prices and payment methods. Thank you very much.
