Title: Am i able to make profit from Copermine photo gallery
Post by: P4_MAN_25 on June 15, 2006, 01:00:48 pm

Hi, I am looking into maybe charging people to host private gallery's on coppermine but im not sure if i would be allowed to do this?  I cannot find anything in the documentation about it.

Thanks

You can absolutely earn money using coppermine. You can charge people to host photos, sell photos etc..

For more information read GPL (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html)  under which coppermine is released.

well you can sell photos as long as they are yours or at least you have the rights on them! It is a tricky ground...

But to charge ppl to host their photos... well this is legal so to say. So good luck

Yes ofcourse the photos should be yours or you should have their copyrights.
