I am busy making packages of softwares who have refused to make the packages by themselves
Anyways, thanks for the permissions (by virtue of your license)
Also just a last note that its a win win situation if the Software vendor makes an installation package as per the API. The reason being that it will give you the power to make the changes as needed.
I know softaculous is new and today you find it no so convincing to add coppermine to Softaculous. But as and when we get popular I hope you will get interested for an Auto Installer does make it EASY TO THE ENDUSER! (Not to forget the ratings and review we provide)
I have replied to your topic!
Waiting for your reply

Alons

Please stop PMing me or anyone else here; you're not allowed to do that! Instead, reply to this thread please if you have something to say.
I have not given you permission for anything. The permission to use Coppermine is granted in accordance to the license. This being said: if your product is going to be released under GNU GPL or a compatible license, you'll be allowed to bundle Coppermine with your product. However, if your product will not be released under GNU GPL, but a commercial license, you probably will not have permission to bundle coppermine with your app.
You are not allowed to tell anybody that you have been authorized to use Coppermine or bundle it. We haven't given such a permission and we won't (since we can't).
There's no "win/win" situation for coppermine when it get's bundled with another product: we don't earn a penny if coppermine get's used by more people. We'll have more people seeking support if coppermine get's more popular by being auto-installed. More support calls by people who aren't actually our intended audience: coppermine is aimed at people who have the skills to perform the install by themselves, as they will need that skill level as well to tweak coppermine to make the app work as they need it. People who needed to rely on an auto-installer to get the app installed usually lack the skills to maintain and administer the app, so in the end there's no benefit for us here, but only extra support work.

The GPL License does not restrict softaculous even if Softaculous is released under a commercial/proprietary license!
Softaculous is just a sort of distributor of your software.
We comply with the rules of making the source code available and passing on the GNU GPL rights to the users of your softwares.
We also do not modify any license of yours.
Softaculous will give a notice of your license to all users who install Coppermine using Softaculous

When you try to redistribute something, you should also try to make it available to all browsers (unable to download with Chrome or FF)
alons:
Well that Download link is the link through which each softaculous copy around the world downloads any software we have, including CopperMine.
Adding Download Headers(PHP headers) will create problems on some servers and result in broken downloads in the normal course of working of Softaculous on servers.
Hence our system just reads the files and outputs it at these pages.
As you are a member of the Dev Team, we can send you an email attachment if you are having problems to download it using that way.
Joachim Müller said to contact the Dev Team only via this thread and not by PM or Emails!
Softaculous usually does not publicly mention the download URLs!
But since we have no email contacts of CPG I gave the Download link.
You should be able to download it using a Download Manager like Free Download Manager.
OR
Just PM me your email address

Alons
