One more that don't understand or don't want to follow the GPL rules.

It can be a mistake from the owner of that website, and why I say that is because he/she don't know how many Meta keywords the search engine look for

Look on the sourse code.

But I think he/she is to stupid and thought no one will se that he/she has removed the Copyright and think he/she has built the app

It's actually not fun, someone should be mad!!

Actually, he is within his rights. What you see in the browser is a layout, style and content that he created and so he can copyright that. All he is doing is stating that what you see is his copyright, he is not infringing on phpwcms license and copyright.

The CMS only stores the content, layout and style info and serves them to the viewer's browsers. This is equivalent to listening to a copyright song created by an artist, played on a copyright device produced by a manufacturer.

If he were to serve up any content or piece of software created by Oliver, such as the admin panel, then he could not place his copyright on that.

Ok then I can be wrong. Is it ok to remove the the copyrigth:

"phpwcms | open source web content management system

from the source code ?

NO, it isn't "OK"

The Copyrights in the Source and in the Backend- Login must be aviable!!!

well I didnt say it was okay....

What I comment was:

has removed the Copyright and think he/she has built the app

whan saying app I meaning the backend but the backend still have full credit.

Then you missunderstood what I said becuase I as you saw the copyright was there in the backend, it was the source code Copyrigth I meen.

But marco did not missunderstand, he thought you can remove the Copyright in the soource code and that is not allowed.

hello

we talk about the copyright in the phpwcms source code!

Ok, Im Backend alle Copyright Notizen Müssen bleiben login.php,

Auch Copyright Notice1 im frontend index.php, Notize1 ist also klar bezeichnet und muss bleiben.

Bedeutet das, dass weiter unten im Frontend index.php nach 'page_start' die zweite copyright notize entfernt werden kann?

Weil die o.e Seite diese zweite Notize nicht hat, ist dass ew. erlaubt?

Ja, kann entfernt werden von index.php.
