OK, I have looked at the legal terms and conditions and this is the copyright claim...


Quote:
By installing SR Classifieds Premium 2.0.0 on your webserver/website you agree to the following terms and conditions:
  • Your license only allows one instance (a single installation) of Product Name 1 on one website for each licensd purchased. A seperate license is needed for each website.
  • Any copyright notices are to be visible and unaltered at all times when using this script unless you purchase the Branding Fee option.
  • This script cannot be redistributed, reproduced, or published in any way.
  • Any modifications to this script are done at your own risk.
  • This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia.
So, if a group of people needed specific fixes, would allowing a programmer get access to the files to fix the bugs and solve usability issues really be "redistributing, reproducing, or publishing" the code?

I really don't know what to do as I have two licenses and the software does work but the development has hit a dead end back in April with a sprinkle of hope every few months before the next vanishing act...

I am just frustrated as I have really tried to be patient but now I have this half developed script and I can not code what I need and I would love t get together with a few people to hire a coder to fix this mess...

Is this really am infringement on these copyright claims to have owners of the software hire someone else as a group to fix functional issues? Hell, people modify other software to meet their needs (Say MS Windows as an example)...

The big bugs in this code have to do with usergroup permissions, image uploads, and the auction functionality as a whole.
