Save Money and Feel More Secure With Open Source Licenses

There are two main ways to do business when you distribute program code like we do. You can choose to work with Open Source licenses, and give freedom to your users, or you can choose to work with Proprietary Licenses and lock your users into working with you.

We have chosen the former, and us the GNU GPL and LGPL V2 licenses, for several reasons:

For most of our team, a lot of what we know today is thanks to studying other open source code, so we feel we should contribute back to the community that helped us.
We don't like the idea of forcing our clients into expensive contracts, or trapping them with encrypted code that only we can modify (because we hate it done to us).
Open Source Licensing gives us a lot of freedom we wouldn't have with a proprietary license. Freedom to include other open source code into our projects, giving you, our members, more features in less time.

Save Money With Unlimited Usage

Many proprietary extensions are licensed on a per-server basis, meaning you need to pay again and again every time you want to install them. At Ninja Forge, you only need to pay one low fee for unlimited usage of our products. Install as many as you like wherever you like. These companies can also change their prices at will and you are obliged to pay because you have no control over the encrypted code.

Modify The Code at Will

Tired of extension companies who supplement their income by charging you to change things you could do yourself, simply because they have encrypted it? Well, you can make any changes you like, whenever you like, to Ninja Forge Extensions.

Regain Control of Your Site's Future

Encrypted programs often contain callbacks to the home site. Meaning if their site goes down, or they go out of business, your program may stop working without notice, which could mean the end of your site. Even if it keeps working, you are stuck with the same version forever if they go out of business. With our open source code however, your website survival is not reliant on our continued success.

Help Further Technology

Proprietary and encrypted extensions are a technology dead end. There can no longer be any innovation from outside the company. Our licenses however free the code to contribute to the advancement of technology as a whole, meaning your contribution as member benefits the whole Open Source CMS eco system, rather than just dead ending at one company.
