I am going to create a Magento theme and I was thinking of basing it on the Magento 'Modern' theme which ships with the install.
1) Is it okay to create theme from this and resell it? ie. Does the theme license allow for modifications to be resold.
2) What is the best way to create my theme, I have heard about child themes but do not understand how they work? Should I just copy the modern theme files in to a new templates directory and modify them as I please.
A quick look at some of the files show they are distributed under the Academic Free License which like most open source licenses allow you to make derivative works as long as they carry the same license.
Also note the following extract which shows you may legitimately sell your theme.
Grant of Patent License. Licensor grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable license, under patent claims owned or controlled by the Licensor that are embodied in the Original Work as furnished by the Licensor, for the duration of the patents, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have made, and import the Original Work and Derivative Works.
Copy the contents of both app/design/frontend/default/modern/ and skin/frontend/default/modern/ to new directories and it will just work.

A project I worked on 15+ years ago as need additional work. Unfortunately, my build & kit environment has long ago been taken down. I have recreated the build environment but am seeking a boxed, licensed copy of InstallShield 5.5. Does anyone know where I can find one. I have the old .ipr files but updating it to a newer Install Shield has proven very difficult. I just want it to work again and allow me to generate a self extracting .exe. I'm doing this all on an old XP laptop with VS6 and VB6. Everything compiles and links. Just need to create a kit. Thanks for your help
Ideas:
Look on eBay - it typically has lots of obsolete items like this. You can search internationally and also save your search so it will email you when new matches are found. (I don't see any copies on there as of this moment).
Contact the current InstallShield owner - Flexera Software. Maybe they can help you out.
Post on VBForums - possibly someone has a copy they can sell/send/lend you.
Depending on your comfort level, you might find it on a download site / torrent download site. Since you do own a license this seems legit to me, but you need to be careful of malware, etc. (especially since you will presumably distribute the results of this installer build).

I need a module that serves as a marketplace / multi vendor system for Magento. I searched on the web to see if I could buy one, and found some. One that got my interest was:
http://store.webkul.com/Magento-Extensions/Magento-Marketplace.html
But the problem with all of them was, they keep a unified catalog.
In my case, imagine that I would like to create a e-Commerce where there are a lot of pizza places, each pizza place with its own menu. With a unified catalog, the user would enter on the website, see all the pizzas, and when choosing from a pizza nearby, they may not have the kind that the user wanted.
So that's why I wanted a module that first:
1. Show the places nearby;
Then, with a specific place selected, show the catalog just for that place.
At first, when searching for products on the website, show the product and who is selling it, instead of just showing the product, as it is right now with this module mentioned above.
I thought of buying that module and write code to fit to my needs:
1. Associating the product with the vendor who added it, and when showing the catalog for a vendor, show just the products that he added;
Override the catalog search module. Showing instead of all products, show the nearby vendors and a small list of their products;
but since I don't have access to the code of the module before buying, it may not be a good idea.... who can ensure that I will be able to perform those modifications?
So, short:
What is a best approach to develop such a module in Magento?
Thank you.

maybe my question is silly, but i cannot find satisfy answer towards google,
I am trying to be a freelance programmer and create commercial use application using newest visual studio and sell it.
I try to be legal but end up confused, what type of microsoft visual studio should i use or buy?
I would first say: refer to the license for the product you wish to use, and potentially get proper legal advice based off the license in question.
That being said... You can use any version of Visual Studio, including the free "Express Editions", to create a commercial software product.
The "higher end" versions add a lot of features, such as code analysis, etc - but even the free versions do not prevent making and selling software.

I'm wondering what is the license of the fonts included with Windows. Does anybody know where I could find the EULA for them? In general, can I freely use these fonts in my open source software?
In general, I know I cannot distribute the font file itself, but how about simply displaying some text with this font? For example, Arial is used in many websites, I guess these websites don't pay some extra license fee to Microsoft?
The Arial wikipedia article describes the licensing terms of Microsoft fonts. And, it also specifies free alternatives available that are metrically equivalent to Arial. Liberation Sans is a good choice IMO. Look at relevant wiki articles to know all the free alternatives available.
Most of the Windows fonts are licensed to Ascender corporation. They now provide license for software and hardware developers to use them. See Type Foundry: Microsoft for more information, and the fonts available.
In addition to that, if you go to right-click -> properties, there's a tab called license. It provides the information about licensing terms as well.
When it comes to use of fonts like Arial in websites, I think it's allowed because the website itself doesn't embed the font, but merely specifies the font name. It's the browser that does the mapping. If you are talking about a stand-alone software, you need to have a closer look.
You are free to use the fonts supplied with Windows, free to write software that uses them, but you cannot distribute them.

Do they have to be GPL or can they be something else? And if nothing is specified in the code are they considered to be GPL by default?
I'm not a lawyer, so take this with a grain of salt.
First off, Mozilla has nothing to do this. There is no reason to believe that Firefox add-ons are GPL-licensed by default. That's because the license of the browser doesn't affect the license of the add-ons; they don't typically reuse the browser's source code. (In fact, Firefox itself isn't necessarily GPL'd. Mozilla releases it under a tri-license which includes the Mozilla Public License as one of the license options.)
So, I'd imagine that if you don't specify a license to an add-on, then that add-on defaults to whatever copyright control would be extended to you as author of the add-on, depending on your jurisdiction.
Now if you used GPL'd code in your add-on, then that add-on would obviously be GPL-licensed if you released it publicly. Unless you got special permission from the original author to use a different license, of course.
