JA Joomla products to be GNU/GPL w.e.f 01/04/2010.

This is to announce that keeping in view and in respect of the Open Source Matters ( OSM ) Trademark Policies & Guidelines governing the Joomla CMS, we have decided to update the Terms of Service and Licensing info, pertaining to all Joomla related products, w.e.f 01/04/2010, all the PHP code of  JoomlArt's Joomla Products (Templates (JATC) and Extensions (JAEC) ), would be governed by GNU/GPLv2 GPL version 2.0 license. We had been preparing for this for quite some time and thats why T3 Framework was released as GNU/GPL and all the latest releases of JA JobBoard and JA Voice are open-source, we took off the ion-cube from these enterprise extensions in December 2009 releases. Now, its time to extend the licensing to other Joomla products. However, to avoid off-shelf rip-offs and re-distribution at large, only the PHP files would be covered by GPL license, the images / CSS / JS elements etc, would remain under Proprietary License of JA, and their usage restricted by Terms of Services governing the JATC / JAEC Club membership and subscription privileges. The above said notices will be updated on JA main site on 01/04/2010.
