Admin pls help.. Vanilla licenses & use

mascotbhalla

Hi, please guide me, is this allowed:

1. I download Vanilla software for free ($0 package)
2. Then I buy a domain name and webhosting from some another webhosting provider
3. I change my Vanilla forum header.
4. I upload it on webhosting (other than provided by Vanilla) and I use it like my own
website (either as a standalone forum or integrated with my business website.)

If that is allowed, then please also tell what does Vanilla say about keeping it's URL at the
bottom of every page? Do we must keep it?

I have seen prices of Vanilla license but confused about where is the exact boundary.

Thanks..

Davidis

yes
only license fee is if you wish to use vanilla hosting if you are hosting it yourself it is free.

Vanilla uses a GPL license. Information here:

We prefer if you keep the "Powered by Vanilla" tag at the bottom of your forum, but the choice is yours.
