Hi

they are selling the Design and the Installation not the phpWCMS-Core
I think that all Professionals here do so :)

Hi,

I sounds like a enhancement using it´s own name.
Built on the phpwcms platform, WebviewCMS (WCMS) will save you and your organization time and resources and it will allow you to provide greater value for your web development costs. WCMS will give you a greater capacity to deliver content without jeopardizing graphic integrity.
All over their site they obtain the impression of an own CMS called "WebviewCMS". :?:

I think they are not trying to hide it, it says phpwcms all over the place :D
They just put their own name on phpwcms... who cares if the code and copy notice is still there and they even pu tit in their footer.
Fair enough (INMHO)... Plus, to be honest they don't seems to be the biggest company on earth ;)

Though it seems it has been done ... long time ago looks like RC1 1.4 ;)

Cheers

I don't think they sell phpwcms as THEIR product, nor do they sell the script, they just "name it" (and only for their clients, I guess as a 'marketing' strategy) differently and they have

Code: Select all

on all websites made, so, I guess it's ok?
