Hi
I started to read about GPL and licensing, and ended as usual: with rather confusion ....
- There is the original licence text (in help and everywhere)
- there are many, many informations and discussions in the internet (e.g. a free PDF book with 170 pages; German)
http://www.ifross.org/Druckfassung/Die_ ... klaert.pdf
- a discussion "OK to sell" about 7 pages and 9 years here: (2005 - 2014)
http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/4462-ok-to-sell/
- a newer discussion "Licensing Question":
http://ahkscript.org/boards/viewtopic.p ... 25&p=37510
So - what I want to say:
Wouldn't it be great if someone who understands it all try to condense the information and describes the possible situations :
"using - distributing - selling"
of
"AHK source code / AHK compiled code / own pure code / own compiled code"
eg.:
The discussions say for me that I can licence and sell my own compiled code which was created with unmodifed AHK.exe.
But: Do I have to add the copyright info of AHK plus the GPL licence of AHK?
Add special docs about licensing

Re: Add special docs about licensing
the problem is that the GPL is condensed. Its legal language that is the minimum necessary legal statements to properly define it. License agreements are overly complex and almost no one without a serious legal education understands them well.
On your honor make a good faith effort. We are kind of stuck with this particular license. And there are alot of paid software written with AHK out there
