Question what is commercial?

Hi, I just joined here and am thinking of creating a small news website with joomia and want to use kunena for a forum. im not selling anything but I want to have ad s for basic costs (hopefully),Would I be classified as non commercial and able to use kunena?
thanks in advance!

edit: oh, and I have no idea why it says Last Visit Date: 29 Nov 1999, somebody might want to check that out since I just joined!

G'day, user3726, and thank you for your interest in Kunena.

I think the main question you've asked is answered in the topic Please help me understand the GPL for Kunena . From what you have said, though, I do not see any issues here as far as using Kunena in a website where there is a some opportunity for obtaining revenue via advertisements. Whether or not there are other implications relating to how you could classify your site as "non-commercial", that's probably where your accountant/financial advisor/taxation consultant can advise you better. As long as you keep to the conditions of the GPL I don't think there are any legal issues involving the owners of the Kunena copyrighted software or the Kunena trademark.

Thanks for your response I think you answered my question. Ill have more, its just me , no accountants, technical advisors etc:p

no disrespect intended and please note Im just starting to learn about this but I notice that recaptcna is used on this forum, is this an indication of security deficiencies? i dont see it on the other forum I frequent?

CAPTCHA is used on many forums around the world today and the reason that is is use is not an indication of any inherent software deficiency. CAPTCHA is used to deter spam ... but it does not totally eliminate it. You may not see CAPTCHA used on other forums you use but no-one can draw any conclusions from that either.
