Hey there,

I've rescently installed Joomla as the CMS for my new website, and i was wondering, do i need to pay for a license for the Powered by Joomla to be removed etc?

I dont think you need to pay, its just general good manners to keep it on as seen as theyve gon eto a huge amount of trouble to make such a brilliant piece of software lol

Yes you can remove the copyright but next time search on google it's not exactly hard to find...

You're not allowed to remove it from the file itself but you're allowed to change the phrase within Joomla.

Starting with Joomla 1.5 and its move to Internationalization and full support of UTF-8, the messages for footer.php and other Joomla pages has been moved to a language specific file. For footer.php, its messages are now in the language (British English) specific file language/en-GB/en-GB.mod_footer.ini. So edit or create the language specific file with you changes and remember that you may not remove copyright and license information from the source code.

To the above, that seems to me like so long as you keep the license stuff in the coding, then you dont HAVE to display it on the actual website, am i right?
