Konakart is really free?

[Jimmy]

Hi, Konakart Team,

I have read the "Legal Disclaimer" of this Website.
In section 2 ( "Limited right to use" ), it has been told that Konakart can not be used for
commercial purpose.

So, in this case, can you tell me Konakart is really free?

Thanks a lot!

Jimmy

Hi Jimmy,

KonaKart is absolutely free.

Section 2 starts off like this :

This web site is owned and operated by DS Data Systems. Unless otherwise specified, all Materials on this web site are the property of DS Data Systems and are protected by English copyright laws and .... bla bla bla

It is really aimed at the contents of the web site. The downloads have a separate license agreement http://www.konakart.com/documents/LICENSE.txt .

Hope this clarifies things,

Please allow me to quote following part of the License Agreement:

3. Usage Restrictions. You must not use the program in any manner that jeopardizes or violates the manufacturers' copyrights. This includes modifying, translating, reverse engineering, decompiling, disassembling and reducing the program to a humanly perceivable form, or creating derivative works based upon the program, or causing another to do so without giving recognition to KonaKart as specified in point 5.

Can I understand as:
if giving recognition to KonaKart as specified in point 5, I can modify, translate,
and create derivative works based upon this program ( or cause another to do so).

In fact, I really need to do those things if I choose Konakart as a base of my special project!

Looking forward to your reply!

Hi Jimmy,

Yes, you can do those things but you must give recognition to KonaKart as specified.  It's not really very much to ask 

How are you getting on with your special project?

What is the easiest way to change the existing KonaKart (3.2.0.0) storefront logo to my company logo and other storefront text/graphics.
I have loaded most of my products in the database and want to get it online as soon as possible. My existing web host uses java script on all his servers.

The KonaKart storefront configuration works well with my products and I would simply like to change to my co logo and some of the graphics, while maintaining the "powered by KonaKart" at the base of the storefront.

Thanks,

jbarb

The logo is in Header.jsp.
All images are in the webapps\konakart\images directory.
The style sheets are under webapps\konakart\styles.

Hope that helps.
