Theming and permission?

Hi,

Is it allowed to remove all mention of RT, version number and Best Practical
on the login page?

Just for branding really, not a big issue.

Removing Copyright notices and links to the license is pretty much
off-limits. (Though if your lawyers believe it’s legal after analyzing
the GPL, I’d be interested to see that in writing.)

Removing the Best Practical logo is more of a local decision.

Given Suretec’s model and positioning, I’m a bit surprised that this
would come up.

Many apologies, this is not how I intended my e-mail to be interpreted.

I am fully aware of the GPL and Copyright, but It’s not like I would be remove
these notices on every file, just the front page.

It would not be hidden that it’s RT either, in fact I promote it as much as I
can, it’s purely branding for the front page.

Agreed.

I think it’s a fair point. This is done with Mambo everyday, if you
“view-source” it still says Mambo.

I say again, all licensing and copyright stands, it just for branding.

This is what the front page currently looks like:

http://support.suretecsystems.com/rt/

Is this acceptable?

Best,
Jesse
