i-MSCP Plugin for Joomla JoomISP

Quote from gOOvER

You also have to buy JomISP

That's something i don't understand! On their website they say that JomISP is free opensource... But then i can only obtain it if i subscribe a membership?
That breaks all rules of GNU GPL License!
If they say the plugin is released under GNU GPL License, the plugin must be available to anyone.

I don't want a membership with them... Also, i won't buy a plugin just for testing!

I know what you mean. I don't like this way of GPL (The Dev of JoomISP stops a fork of it by court ) Thats not the GPL way

In my old Forum i had to delete all Threads where People talked about the JoomISP Fork

Do you know any similar script?

Quote from gOOvER

Sorry, no. No Free Script.

The only one i know is a bridge from WHMCS to Joomla.

That sucks!

I have JoomISP 1.0.2 but have to take a look deeper on the code to make it work on latest joomla.

Hello,

I'm the developer of JoomISP and only want to clarify a few things.

OpenSource must not always be free and it's also not the idea of GNU GPL that everything must be free.

You are mixing two different people here. I'm the dev of JoomISP but I didn't stop ispss by court. Also I didn't ask you to delete any threads in your forum. That was probably Marco di Prato of the ideenFabriken who ran JispCom (and NOT JoomISP).

Quote from gOOvER

You can try to ask someone, who bought it allready. The Script is released under GPL. So everyone can share it But be carefull; the Author don't really know what OpenSource and GPL is

I don't complain if you share JoomISP with other people. But only think of this: You are probably earning money with your webhosting and want a continously development and support. So don't you think it is fair to pay for that service?
(If you are not earning money with it, write me an email and I will send you a copy of JoomISP for free.)

If you don't agree with that: enter JoomISP in google and download it from any warez site you find. I don't care about that.

Also you should read the GNU GPL carefully before saying that other people don't know what it is (see above).

Thank you Jonas for clarify this." Opensource" means available source, not freeware . Good luck with your development, and if ever need clarifications about iMSCP, you can always ask us and you will get answers you need.
