Can I use pqgrid on the production environment?

[nghiemhd]

Hi pqgrid team,

I'm developing the system for my company. We are using asp.net gridview, now I want to replace all asp.net gridview to pqgrid for the performance. But I don't know whether I can use pqgrid on the production environment. I have read about GPL v3 license in wiki but I'm still not sure about this.

Thanks and regards,
Nghiem Hoang

Sorry for late reply.

You can use pqgrid (base version) in Production as long as you include a copy of GPL license and provide the source code of your system to YOUR company. I don't see any problem in that if you an employee of YOUR company.

YOUR company can use the system whatever way it wants.

However if YOUR company redistributes or sells your system to other companies, YOUR company has to do the same i.e it has to include GPL license and provide source code of the system to those other companies.

You mean I have to provide source code of my website to YOUR company if I use this grid on a production site?
